No, I would love to hear a review that accurately describes the quality of the game, and doesn't nitpick on anything.
What follows is my opinion.
Uncharted: 9.5
Shadow of the Colossus: 9.7
Tools of Destruction 9.2
As for Kane and Lynch, yes it sucked, and that's the score it deserved, but probably haven't heard that the reviewer got sacked after giving it that six, because the game was being heavily advertised on GameSpot, it's pretty obvious why he was fired. That cost them pretty much every good reviewer they had, and they made up for it by hiring annoying fanboys like Andre Seegers.

There we go. Gerstmann was one of their best reviewers.
I've given up on ever agreeing with GameSpot. They have no idea how to write a review, most of their reviews are barely a page long, and their scores are never justified. They also happen to be PS3 haters. They write a Halo Wars review the moment the embargo ends, and the embargo for KZ2 ended 19 days ago, and they haven't reviewed it "because they need more time with the online". Yeah, right. They took three weeks to review Valkyria Chronicles, and they often review the 360 version of a game, wait a week, then review the PS3 version.
I'm happy to see that GameSpot are no longer the most popular gaming website, IGN are.
EDIT: By GameSpot's logic, Echochrome is as good as Uncharted, and Blitz The League II is as good as Tools of Destruction. Um...no.
