I got hired this morning to be a magazine game reviewer.

If you focus on Replay Value that much you'll only end up doing alot of short but fantastic games a disservice with your reviews. Telling someone that Ico is a below average game (which is what a 6 entails for most) doesn't seem even close to the truth as far as I'm concerned.

like i said, i'd give it two scores (and i'm thinking of making em this way for the magazine). Ico is a 9 as a rental, but a 6 as a purchase. It's a good game, but it's my duty to inform how long you'll actually be playing it before sending it to the used games department.

GGGGGHHHHNNNNKKKKK-

Fine. I won't argue with you. It's your standard of quality, it's yours to decide on.

But do not expect it to resonate with people, especially if you refer to ICO as the sort of game one ends up trading in.
