A 9.0 from Kevin "Open World" van Ord, really? This score is overly high methinks, so the game makes some canned social commentary, that makes it neither deep nor great. Frankly it says more about Van Ord that he rated it so highly for something so, banal.

@DanteReal69 IGN's review of GoW Judgment was pretty good, in my opinion. The final score was a bit inflated, but the points they raised were good. If reviewers stopped counting Multiplayer, which is a subjective experience in their scores, the rating would be more honest.

on a 1-15 scale, GoW: Judgment gets an 11, a very high score. Does it warrant that? probably not. In this case, an 8.5/15 is more accurate, it's a game which is average, but with slightly more good than bad. I suspect the review got the usual Chris Watters multiplayer markup.

The numbered rating system is fine, but the range is too small. After much research, I have concluded that 1-15 is a superior range to 1-10. It allows for more precision, while retaining the simplicity of a 1-10 for understanding. It scales up well too, to adjust a score to a 1-100, simply multiply by 6.67, something any computer or user with a calculator should be able to do.

great, Watters is reviewing the game, that means the final score will be based on the multiplayer.

I wasn't expecting a Feedbackula about Sim City, it's awfully low hanging fruit isn't it?

@Beelze333 @jpnelson82 not my point. I was musing about the trend of outsourcing large parts of the coding for a game, but letting a big studio take the credit or blame

Is Eidos Montréal making Thief in the same way Gearbox made Aliens: Colonial Marines?

This is odd, Blizzard releases a trailer for Heart of the Swarm, Starcraft II is really big in Korea, North Korea threatens to "test" a nuclear rocket by aiming and firing it at the US, coincidence or is this how Kim Jong Un trolling Blizzard?

Crytek got talent, Homefront is probably dead. Nice that Metro stays with Europeans rather than going to the US or Japan where it would have lost its depth.
