@FAIL_RETURNETH @CCGR_Pheonix @tomservo51 Eh, fair point, but, at least for me, my 360 has crashed more than my PC in the past few years. If you want a system that doesn't crash, buy a Wii. That thing was and is rock solid.
@sexypixel @stealthyninja81 I think Gamespot realizes this. I mean, Metacritic is a branch of Gamespot. If you concur with a review given on Metacritic, then continue to trust the site, because it is designed to, hopefully, give an unbiased review of entertainment media.
Gamespot on the other hand, is more based on opinion, which is completely fine. I don't think Gamespot journalist's have grand illusions that their reviews are absolute, hence why their site, metacritic, exists.
Also, this is a review for Civ 5, which is, in fact, a phenomenal game no matter how you slice it. ;)
So far, Valve is the only company who has consistently done free to play well, and they haven't even touched it on consoles. I don't know if they will.
