Kane & Lynchshaunchgo

I loved Kane and Lynch. Hoesntly the complaints about that game were foolish. Anyway not here to give a speach to the President. Kane and Lynch and Bully:SE(Not really sure what it got, somewhere in the 7's i know though, but it should have gotten atleast a 11.5)

I dont think I've gotten anything with a lower score than 8.0. Games are pretty expensive so I try not to take chances unless the demo is outstanding. But I think GTA IV was scored way too high for the amount of fun and thought it added up to. Gamestop seems to be on top of things for the most part.

i have had alot of games that have been rated from 2-7 and many 9 and 2 10s, and 8s, some of which deserved better and some deserved lower scores, any wii game listed below

cruisn

tv show kings- just got it today wii ware, gs gave it a 7

driver paralel lines again also have the xbox and ps2 versions and theyve all been mediocre rated , lol , , found that they are fun ,

ts fp gamecube version, i found it odd they rated timesplitters fp on gc lower then xbox and ps2 versions, because of online not included, which makes no sense,

as the ps2 version is now online less so ya

ive had a fair share of games rated mostly fair - great some perfect ,

and some poor bad medicre and i liked em all except alien syndrome ,, my only regret out of 836 games ,

Burnout Paradise should get a revised score of 10 after all of these free updates and DLC. Shouldn't deserve the 8.5 after all of that. Right now, I would give it at least a 9.

That game was terrible. I hated the puzzles, the story, (especially when the mom kept bringing the kids to life or the whole party got a miraculous recovery) (btw, that happened multiple times)

Quake 4. my cousin gave it to me for free and although its not a great it deserved better than 6.6. also army of two was pretty fun as long as you have a friend to play with. i think bioshock was overrated and im very glad i didnt spend money on it

Quake 4, Monster Madness and Earth Defense Force 2017

I actually really liked Monster Madness and with the updates it deserves a better score than a 5.5 or whatever it got on Gamespot.

I bought this PS2 game called Blood Will Tell it was based off an anime or manga and It's average score was like 6 or 7 out of 10. Though the game was pretty fun and had a good story and the cutscenes were beautifully done. I would recommend people give it a try. It has an awesome combo system plus the main character is like a samurai and he has to find all of his organs that were stolen by demons. Defeat a demon and get an organ.

A lot of people putting down games that have scored 7, thats not a bad game.

Alone in the Dark, Blue dragon and Viking are games that got bad reviews but I liked them, ex-specially Blue Dragon.

Well Lost Odyssey is the only one so far. I just think is just underrated well judging from Gamespot's review it is.

Quake 4 was actually really really good, the only complaint was framerate issues here and there. also enemy territory quake wars on the 360 was underappreciated and i also enjoyed dark sector.

i think it's the best exclusive game for the 360 so far this year. i can tell the JRPG genre clearly isn't for you.
