The sad thing is that this is probably a "valid review".

Oh, and at everybody saying "It's their opinion", hello, this is perhaps the largest game review magazine in the world. Their opinion is irrelevant.

 

 Way to contradict yourself there, bud.

I assume you know of the inside joke that only reviews that give KZ2 below an 8 are valid...basically this and Maxim.

If you are a reviewer, nobody cares about your opinion. Any retard could join, say, GameSpot, and give Zelda a 2 because "DURR IT MAED ME THINK 2 HARD!!!". Would that be okay? It's his opinion, right? Well, if he has an opinion which is different from the mainstream, he needs to review it like a mainstream person. I'm sure we could find somebody, somewhere, who would give Ocarina of Time a 6 and Haze a 10. He would be a crap reviewer unless he acknowledged that he had a strange opinion and switched those scores around.

Again, they're not fanboys, they're just ridiculously strict.

 

 No, you're wrong. A review is an opinion. An analysis is objective whilst a review is subjective. It is a contradiction to say that "perhaps the world's largest game magazine"'s opinion is "irrelevant".

And, by your first sentence I'm guessing your saying that I am hoping that Killzone 2 will fail. Funny that, seeing as I am personally hoping for this game to do really well, as I particularly enjoyed the first title.
