[QUOTE="fethelth"]Price does matter...look at the Orange Boxfethelth

the orange box isn't a game. it's a package that includes 5 games.

they gave half-life 2 a 9.2, so i don't think they gave half-life 2 + 4 other games a 9.5 because it's cheap.

and you're totally speculating here; you have absolutely no clue as to whether or not they would have given crysis warhead a 9 because it's cheap. in fact, i'd lose total respect for gamespot reviews (not that i have much respect for their reviews) if they did take price into consideration; that would be totally nonsensical, cuz they should rate games based on their quality and quality alone, not other factors.

just making sure. sometimes, and only sometimes, the people that i respond to turn out to be idiots.

oblivion and good... does not compute.

but baldur's gate 2 is the best rpg of all time, so you should check that out. or try vampire: the masquerade - bloodlines for something more recent. mass effect is even more recent and almost as good. people say the witcher is good, so you should give that a try, but i haven't liked it much thus far.
