Really good score. 9.6 from IGN, I rarely see that.

Odd. Future. Wolf. Gang. Kill. Em. All. OFWGKTA Don't give a fuck!

Fuck Steve Harvey. FREE EARL!

Final Fantasy Versus XIII will be the GREATEST game EVER made!!!

I'd take a bullet for Square-Enix!

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 gave 1 overhyped game, 1 overrated game and 1 bribed review 10.0 (See Metal Gear Solid 4, Ocarina of Time, Grand Theft Auto 4)

fixed

now you decide which one was bribed, which one was overhyped & which one was overrated

@okedokey

what was the other one for? bayonetta?

The AUS version of Darksiders I believe.

No, it is Bayonetta (9.5, 9.5 AU, 9.6 UK or something).

Plus, Tatsunoko vs Capcom just got a 9.0. Wonder if MAG can do it.

You have issues if you really believe that metal gear solid 4 and ocarina of time don't deserve 10s. GTA4 deserved a 9 at most though so I agree with that.

Fantastic Score! to bad im out of money now thanks to SO4: Internationa but damn asap with this one.

and lol @hostage- thats true though, "Some" games get high scores for high hype and bribes, Assassins creed II was the last one i think, i think Ubisoft even admited to it.

There also another game soon to come that'll get the same royal treatment if you catch my drift...

This one was fair and just though, well deserved!

Well, Mass Effect 1 averaged 9.2 or whatever it was and I found the game to be kinda boring. IGN said it has "thrilling combat" and looking at gameplay videos it does look improved, but at its core it remains the same.

I'll still end up trying this though, as my brother loved the original and is gonna buy this.
