Should I really care? I would rather use GameFaqs user reviews. Gamerankings is a good index for western reviewers tastes. The rankings are also not immune to "money politics". Perfect Dark Zero still puzzles me. It got 9`s from GS, 1up and GameTrailers.

 This is the first time I've seen someone point this out. I've been telling that to people for ages, but none of them seem to get it into their head. "OLOLOL BEST GAME EVAR GTA4!!!!!1"

 Yeah, "BEST GAME EVER ZOMG status" for a game that will sell 10 copies max in Japan was pretty stupid to begin with.

And it's pretty obvious looking back that Perfect Dark Zero got all 9's because everybody really really wanted Rare to make a great FPS like they used to.  It was just wishful thinking.

And now they want to fudge Ocarina, and I bet the next move is for the haters to rewrite history and say Ocarina was a casual game and GTA4 is hardcore.  Lulz galore.

 

Two words that guarantee that'll never fly:

 

(1) Master

(2) Quest

 

End of story. =)
