The only site I trust with my reviews is PCGamer. It seems that they give a good score to games people never heard of and some blockbusters that are also worthy of that score. Like Black Ops getting a 64 on that site. That seems to me the best possible score seeing at how buggy it is.
They also gave a 90 to a game people probably never heard of and it is most likely deserving. Monday Night Combat.
It's disappointing when people accept terrible stories but I should expect no less from a generation that thinks, for example, Modern Warfare 2 has a good story. I know. I know. We all hide behind "but FPS games never have good stories" excuse but that's wrong because there have been real gems out there. Deus Ex is an excellent example of an FPS with a great story. It seems people to get carried away with these scores. A 8.5 on this site is GREAT. Most of the games that i've enjoyed are less than 9.0.
I've never bought that a reason for PC gaming -- modding and overclocking and whatnot. Did installing Natural Mod 2009 for STALKER make it more enjoyable and much better looking experience? Sure, but just being able to chill on my couch and play my 360 or PS3 makes them the more immediate choice for me.
But thats just me.

You can't sit on your couch and play your PC with a 360 controller?
[QUOTE="biggest_loser"]I can't buy that review. I mean, it sounds just like a fighting game? And comparing it as as evolutionary as HL2? Crysis was a huge step in improvisation, which is exactly what this review is complimenting the game on and yet its not referenced. Having combo options does not make it strategic. Even Cliffy would have a hard time suggesting that the game has emotional hooks. What do I know though? I'm just going off the footage. Baranga
Combos make the game strategic, but it's hard to explain to those that haven't played it. There's no other FPS that makes you think so hard about how you're going to kill.
Play Crysis on Delta and than say that there is no other game that makes you think hard how to kill.
