You guys are forming your oppinion having never played the game. At least Gamespot played it. They are below the average for sure but I don't think they are biased against Sony. They just aren't handing out high marks. They gave Metroid an 8.5 I think.

 Yes, they also gave Def Jam Icon an 8.1, Perfect Dark Zero a 9, and Wario Ware Smooth Moves a 9.1. So we can all see how extremely reliable and consistent they are in thier scoring process. =P

(From Metacritic)

Def Jam Avg Review score: ~7
Perfect Dark Zero Avg Review score: 8.1
Wario Ware Smooth Moves Avg Review score: 8.3

I don't see what is so wrong with being (approximately) 10% off of the average review score of any game ... It means that you enjoyed these games somewhat more than the average reviewer did. Its not like Play magazine giving Lair a 9 ...

 I was making the point Gamespot does give out generous reviews and high marks and to rather unpexpected games no less. I use to think they were simply one of the harsher review sites, but after reading more of thier reviews and it seems more likely they're actually just one of the lazier ones. From what I've read in some of thier reviews it seems like they often make thier decisions quickly if not before playing the game and seem to miss obvious things at times because they don't really care.

 Then again I've a general disdain for Gaming Media in general, so perhaps I'm not very good judge of these things. 

EDIT: I don't remember anything about them changing how they review games, just that they were going from
.# to .5 or .0 in thier scores.
