if it gets a 9/10 from OXM then thats a bad sign. OXM is supposed to give the overhyped games 2 ratings higher then what it deserves. so its actualy like a 7/10 now.

 

that's not true: OXM actually gave Fable II 8/10...and according to  metacritic that was the 2nd lowest score that Fable II received (Fable II has a score of 90 on metacritic based on more than 40 reviews)

 

As strange as it may sound OXM isn't that biased...

 

 

 Exactly. OXM UK and OPM UK are very much not biased (they are owned by the same company). They are two official magazines you can listen to. Some people who really enjoy fable and people like starcraft and selnor I'm sure would argue that an 8 is too low for fable but I find the review fare and actually share the reviewer's point of view. It's a great game but people forget that 8 is a great score.

I'm happy to see a 9/10 for Gears 2. It shows that it's just as good (and as stupid, but hey, who cares? It's FUN!) as the first and it will surely get my purpose. I thought for surely it would get a 10/10 but OXM once again doesn't show bias which is great.
