a 9.6..

IGN doesn't give 9.6's..

They give exceptional games 9.5 (See Uncharted 2, Modern Warfare 2)

They give extra exceptional games 9.7 (See Bioshock, Super Mario Galaxy)

They give sequels that near perfection 9.9 (See San Andreas, Majora's Mask)

And they give overhyped games, overrated games and bribed reviews 10.0 (See Metal Gear Solid 4, Ocarina of Time, Grand Theft Auto 4)



Pixel Art can be fun.

:O

Just a few more days!

Edit: IGN have given out two 9.5+ scores this year and it's not even February yet. 2010 FTW!

The AUS version of Darksiders I believe.

Sorry, you're right.
