how was it so obvious to you? I'm just curious.

I guess it was judging by the post history of a voter who would give a pretty unresonable review, i mean a 3 is pretty easy to see but maybe a 7 or an 8 for a game that is clearly better than that would be "stelthier" like someone over in the Halo 3 thread posted.

and by 'clearly better' i mean by professional and amateur reviews, most people's opinion (who obviously played it and not someone who can't answer a simple question about a game), generally the opinion of a trusted person. and it's clear when even most fans of a competing console say it's good you know it's good :)

The problem with reviews is that a lot of them get based on hype alone if the game is a true blockbuster title.

Take GTA4, for example.

The trusted, professional reviewer's have rated it as the 2nd best game of all time. When in reality, it didn't even win GotY awards from most of the sites. The game gained 10/10 scores based on hype alone.
