2007 was Bioshock/Galaxy

Though the GDC awards gave it to Wii Sports, unless I remember wrong.

I think that was BAFTA. Also I am talking a bunch of awards. Some games got awards in 2006 and 2007 like Call of Duty 4.

The crux of the review and the thread rolled up into one neat little sentence.  Read it.

I personally find the scale most magazines use to be ridiculous. I don't care about the score if the game gets less than 5. It's still a bad game. So why use those scores at all? Just because it's the prevailing way of doing things doesn't mean it isn't broken. The Edge way you get a bigger score difference between good games, and less between bad ones (that aren't usually reviewed anyway), which makes for better consumer advice. And that is what a review SHOULD be. Consumer advice. Currently, reviews are more like marketing, which makes me angry.

And what if the reviewers actually thought both White Knight Chronicles and Final Fantasy XIII where just average games? How would that make the scores inconsistent?

Also, your comment on the reviewer needing to think about the effort and money put in by the developer before saying negative things about the game is just so insanely wrong it's hard to put into words. No. Just no. That sort of thinking is what's wrong with the system today. You should review games based on your own experience with them, not based on what everybody else might think, and you should never give a nice review simply because the company poured money into the title. 

The Wii's been gathering dust and the PS3's been getting a lot of love the last 6months. I'm happy that things are going to change soon.

Mario bingeing is my favourite pastime.

Bring it on.

The Wii got many great in the last six month. Many think that the Wii had a better Start in 2010 than Xbox and PS3 combined. Where have you been not to recognize this on a turn to the moon? :)

I know you've been banned for this post, but given LBP got numerous 10/10s doesn't that mean a lot of reviewers agree with you? Not sure what it has to do with SMG though.

That being said, I thought LBP was the most over rated game I've ever played. Mario Galaxy was the first game I loved so much I went back to finish it 100%. That was the first time I've done that for about a decade before it's release. LBP was too basic, nothing but jump and push/pull plus the controls were really clunky.

So it goes without saying, I can't wait for SMG2. I bought SMBWii & GOW 1&2 for my PS3 recently and they are both collecting dust on the shelf. I may need to take a week off work for SMG2.

I'm not trying to deny that the wii didn't get good games but... I'd probably laugh if you said that it had a better Q1 than the PS3, but you're saying that it was even better than the PS3/360 combined? That's just.. wrong.
