I'm going to make this blanket statement which I feel that strongly applies to this. Falling back on numerical ratings is overrated and is for sheep. One specific and very important thing I like about IGN's reveiw is that they go in depth. So aside from the numerical score, the specifics pointed out by an IGN review might not appeal to the reveiwer, but it might appeal or doesn't matter to certain individiual gamers. Some people might not be bothered by the 20% less voice acting in the cutscenes for instance. I will warn that if the majority of the reviews are in the 7.0 range, then maybe it is a 7.0 quality game. But if it becomes a 7.0 average game with ratings ranging anywhere from like 3 to 9, then I might be a "rent before you buy" scenario. If this is the case, then it's probably worth the price of the rental plus full price to own the game. That's why I do not place to much emphasis on numerical ratings because reviews are just opinions. The more detailed they are, the better. I will not buy a game because of a number, but I'll buy a game because I serve myself as a gamer.
Hackers are poor nerds who don't wash.
