A lot of people need to look at this "out of 10 / not an average" to see what it implies. Every site has some variation on how they rate their games, and I think there is a lot of flexability because games have gotten more complex and specialized. Not every game is the same, and a factor in one game (like sound) can be less crucial in another (like presentation). And no one review system can fully accomodate one game. I'm sure there are factors in both of these games that don't quite fall into the five factors used by IGN that justified the 9.5 for both games. And these are games that belong to different systems so there might be a slight variance in the relativity of the reviews. Some people will take the shallow approach by seeing just the numbers and run with it. I would be smart and better to look beyond that. At the end of the day, both games are getting props of worthiness, and there really isn't anything substancial to argue about.
Hackers are poor nerds who don't wash.
