Mainly because the bolded hasn't actually happened. Except MGS4. And Too Human. They gave Tools of Destruction and Wipeout HD 7.5/10, and Uncharted 8/10, then gave Braid a 9.5/10, therefore they are 360 fanboys. And don't point me to metacritic, because metacritic is owned by the people who own gamespot (CNET). They give gamespot scores huge priority when giving metascores. Note how they say some scores are more important than others. Well, I suppose the results are (partly) in. IGN says they're equal, let's see if Gamespot agrees. After they gave Gears 2 a 9/10, I don't think they'll give Resistance 2 anything higher. If they do, cool. |
Actually, I don't think Ratchet and Clank deserved to be a 9 or higher game either, Uncharted deserves 8's or just a 9 and I haven't played wipeout yet so can't comment there.
The only thing R&C has going for it is the visuals and new weapons (which, let's face it, haven't been as imaginative as previous entries), everything else about the game is R&C: Up your Arsenal. You can't honestly say it deserves AAA status if it's just the same game we've been playing for years now with new visuals.
Sure they may be a little harsh with the 7.5's, but gamespot have always been known to be harsh as reviewers.
