A 10 never meant that it was a perfect game. If you took San Andreas (which got a 10 in Gameplay, Value and Tilt) and added the graphics and sound of Resident Evil 4 (both 10s) you would have a game that would have gotten a 10.

Now, it's not even that, as you would imagine a couple games would've been rounded up under the new system.

Nonethless, it's completely unlikely that any one game would get a 10. People say LBP but really, there was no way in hell that GameSpot would've given it a 10 in Gameplay given how they marked Gameplay in the past; a game like LBP would just never be refined enough out of the box to be a 10 in Gameplay (which is basically reserved for a very small amount of games). There are always a bunch of games that could get to that super elite level but it would pretty much just be the huge outlier in the system.

Final Fantasy XI is on the 360.

And to answer the topic, I think Ratchet needs something of a prolonged hiatus.

Marvel vs. DC, people.

Let me dream.

50 years from now, gaming will be much like it is now. Better graphics, more use of motion sensing, more risqué storylines, but ultimately no huge departures from what we know.

And then Duke Nukem Forever will re-invent gaming... Forever!

The Burnout series and NHL series all have continually horrifying soundtracks. Many other big EA titles are along the same path but those are the main offenders.

As for original soundtracks, the Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution soundtrack was just boring and Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance sounded like an NES game.
