LOL. these comments are hilarious, I do agree with some of their points. I believe that tom mcshea is far to cynical to be a professional game reviewer. I listen to gamespot's podcast and he has said many times that he does not like violence, gore foul language and other mature aspects in gaming. Also, he really does have a very unique taste in games, so unique that most of the general pubic and the majority of gamers don't agree with. I feel that his reviews should not reflect the whole site. Maybe give him his own opinion separate of GS main score. I really loved EGM's old system of reviewing games, have 3 people review the game. That way we can get multiple opinion from a single source. I mean really, he gave Mario galaxy 2 a perfect 10/10 score. really tom mcshea, a game that is just a reiteration of n64 game from 1997 that offers nothing new to the industry get's a perfect score. Ive played the last of us, a few days before release (one of the benefits of my job) and by his point Ive finished the game. This game is so new, refreshing and unlike anything Ive ever played before, the story is thrilling and engaging, the graphics are of the highest quality, the AI is quick witted and reacts in a natural way to the players actions and the game controls perfectly. I know comparing games like mario and the last of us is ridiculous but just listen, Tom gave super mario galaxy 2 a perfect score because in his eye's it was the pinnacle of 3D platforming games. The last of us is the pinnacle of 3D person action games. Think about that. The man is evil.
