It's not all bad. It kinda balances.

GOOD:

New Assassin's Creed will release next year with Ezio

Final Fantasy XIII got a 9.5

Bad Company 2 got a 9.5

BAAAAD:

Bioshock 2 doesn't seem all that great now. I mean, a 10 hour campaign with so-so multiplayer?

Aliens vs. Predator got a 5.5

It just kinda stinks that the games I were looking forward to aren't too hot. I mean, Bioshock 2 still got an 8.25, but it just doesn't seem too great now

The AvP score isn't surprising, but it still blows!

What about you guys?

I just enjoyed ME2, and now looking forward to Red Dead Redemption. Nope, I am not sad for the 360 at all.

Not sad at all. I agree with everything Game Informer wrote, plus Bioshock 1 was also 10 hours. Wow I completely agree with all this.

I was just wanting the Bioshock 2 story to be longer. Oh well, I guess I just got spoiled by the length of Mass Effect 2's story lol

Mass Effect 2's story has the potential to be long, but it won't be long for everyone.

Reading the AvP review is just meh.. Ben Reeves is a failure imo. It sounds like he played the game for 15 minutes. He complains about a predator being stealthy... and the lighting in the game being bad? The lighting is supposed to be bad... Its like the films.

Of course he could be right. I haven't played the full version. If its anything like the demo I'm sure im going to love it.

I haven't recieved my mag yet but what did they give Bioshock 2?

I'm not sad. Looks like one of the games I've been anticipating for a long time is really good. Still playing Mass Effect 2, about to pickup Bayonetta and about to grab more DLC for Dragon Age and get the expansion. I'm loving my 360 right about now.

How could we be sad? ME2 is currently burning up most of our xbox's, we have bioshock coming out tonight. A couple months to play the crap out of those games then alan wake comes out. After that is too far to tell.

If I'm not mistaken they're developing a multiplayer exclusive Assassin's Creed game.

I'm dissapointed about Bioshock 2 but I think I can get my moneys worth out if it. Just wish I could get it tomorrow.

Reiner gave Bioshock 2 an 8.5 which is surprising because he loved Bioshock 1.

Meh, I could care less about a review from any type of source. I buy games that are entertaining and fun for me. Therefor, what some random person feels like the game is worth has no effect on any of my decisions :roll:

Hmm, that's cool. But what if a reviewer comments on numerous glitches, countless bugs, terrible story, and short campaign? Hell, that's like buying Mercenaries 2 without reading the reviews...

Well actually, I did buy Mercenaries 2 without reading the reviews...and I loved the game:) I must be extremely unique, but bad graphics,story,bugs, and glitches won't turn me away from a game that appeals to my interests. Case in point: Darkest of Days- The game had pretty much everything wrong with it that could possibly happen;however, the game appealed to my love of history and fps. That being said, I have yet to regret paying the launch price for it. ----There is so much to be said, when it comes to video games " and everything else"- your opinion should be the higher power. Now, if I'm in the market for a vehicle or Washing Machine etc...- then I'd certainly take opinions for seriously. 8) Guess one contradicts the other, but hey..

Yay, an AAA score for FFXIII! I kind of expected that score for AVP. I heard people liked the demo, but it was unbalanced and got boring quick.

I don't remember spending more than 10 hours on Bioshock 1 so if the sequel is about that length plus MP then great.

I knew Bioshock 2's multiplayer would be so-so and as for Avp I knew it wouldn't have amazing scores. I'm not even slightly disappointed by these scores.

I thought AVP was a fair game and expected a score of around 6. As for Bioshock 2 MP who was surprised about that?

I always new that BioShock 2 could almost never match the first.I always expected it to be a good game,just not mind blowing as it's predecessor.It's a familiar territory now,it'd take a huge miracle to surpass the original.An 8.25 is about the score I would expect from BioShock 2,and I'm glad it got it,because now my fears of the game completely failing are gone.

I also never saw why everyone was so hyped about this AvP game.And once I played the demo,it confirmed my thoughts that it would be bad.So no disappointments here.I'm still wating for Red Dead Redemtion,that's one of my main games this year.

Bit disappointed with AvP 2's score, and was hoping Dante's Inferno would've turned out a little better. Though, this will save me a bit of money as now I am only buying Bioshock 2, and renting AvP 2 + DI. I am perfectly OK with Bioshock 2 getting the score it got, as I want to learn a bit more about Rapture and all, so I am basically fine with "more of the same". That said I hope 2K hasn't got any plans on a Bioshock 3, hopefully 2 has a decent ending. Also after reading the latest GI, I am very much looking forward to LA Noire, looks pretty promising imo, so I am not sad whatsoever for 360.
