Two days ago, us sheep experienced a huge flop. MP3 got 8.5, and the usual insanity commenced. The Big Three is now The Other Two.

However, I think something softened the blow for us. Sure, some opposing fanboys had their fun, but most were...worried. Worried that Gamespot was truly cracking down to keep their image, and their game would be next. For once, everyone felt the sting of the flop. We are now all in a state of paranoia.

So now, we've almost been left of the hook and left alone to recover. This would normally be great, but we are as worried as everyone else. What does this mean for System Wars, when we can predict that nothing but the absolute greatest games of all time will get AAA? Bad things. Less hype, more realistic approaches to anticipation of Gamespot's review. Less....fun.

Now, all we can do is wait for Halo 3, as it has become the game that will decide the future of System Wars.

Feel free to comment.
