They have the right to.. -gasp- have an opinion. The mentality that a game isn't great because it's a few points away from a 10 is completely asicinine. I'd admit that their language towards the game is somewhat misleading but there are more pressing issues than a 9.3 out of ten. They said over and over that the game is worthy of your money and that you should get the game if you have a PS3 but it's not anything revolutionary. They gave LBP and SMG higher scores because despite their faults, they managed to do something new and feel fresh.

Ultimately, Gametrailers loves originality.

but GTA IV scored a 9.8

I never played GTA IV long enough to comment fully but from what I remember from their review, the game revolutionized the sandbox genre in severals ways.  Uncharted 2 is Uncharted 1 with some elements borrowed from Call of Duty and Gears of War.  Also there's a higher standard in 2009 than 2008.

GTA 3 did, not GTA IV.

GTA IV was actually the same as GTA 3 with HD graphics + phones. its even have much less gameplay elements than San Andreas and Vice City
