I thought it would score higher because I always thought it looked better than Fable and Fable 2. Anyway, I will make my final decision on whether or not to buy the game on how well either Play or IGN rates it.
Even though IGN only gave Heavenly Sword a 7. Dave Halverson in his Play review gave it a 10, and after purchasing it, I did come to the conclusion that it was worth it (worth the purchase price). Also, a couple of games that have received lower review scores in the bigger publications that Play has influenced me to have an interest in purchasing Viking the 360 version and Assassin's Creed (360) which Halverson also gave a 10. The thing I like about Play Magazine and Diehard Gamefan is that like a good college radio station that isn't playing the popular songs like the larger radio stations in the same town, they do a good job of making you consider buying products that you otherwise would not have done so.
I enjoyed playing the Too Human demo, but I must admit it did control a bit strangely..putting attack on the right analog stick, so I wonder if that might have effected GI's review score (I do think GI is a quality publication, and they usually have good early exclusive articles on upcoming games.)
My most anticipated games: Whatever Hideo Kojima is going to do next, Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Gran Turismo 5, Alan Wake, Wii Sports Resort. Cave Story Wiiware.
