Well, just looking at IGN alone, and just looking at their PS3 section, you have GTAIV, MGSIV, World at War and Modern Warfare and Modern Warfare 2, Little Big Planet, Uncharted and Uncharted 2, Assassins Creed II, Resistance 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Street Fighter IV, Tekken 6, Prince of Persia, Infamous, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, both Rachet and Clank....the list goes on. All major hyped games above 9.0. Sure, some of them probably deserve the title. But it also probably shows a degree of upscoring towards the PS3 due to hype and graphics when so many games are appearing above 9.0. I mean come on, is 9.0 the new 8.0? Or better yet, is the ratings system the new masure for 'popularity'? |
While IGN is a bit generous with their scores in the last time, I was talking about all reviewers. Take a look at Metacritic and you'll see that just as many games (often of course hyped games) got 90+ scores last gen.
It's no surprise that the majority of hyped games have the best scores, I mean afterall they were hyped for a reason.
And yet there are still hyped games like Assassins Creed, Ninja Gaiden 2, Halo 3 ODST, Mirror's Edge & Prototype which are far away from the 90+ zone.
