Does anyone know why there have been no Dengeki scores popping up in a while?
Haven't seen one for Bayonetta, NSMB WII, etc.

Would like to know what they would give FFXIII as compared to Famitsu.

 

Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated.

I know they reviewed Demon's Souls and gave it a much better score than Famitsu.

 

 

That's my issue with Famitsu these days.  The only games that get high scores are games from publishers Famitsu has big marketing deals with.  The rest are often underscored quite heavily.  Famitsu gave Demon's Souls a 29/40, while Dengeki gave it something like 95/85/85/80.  Meanwhile the Last Remnant got a 38/40.  Yeah, it totally deserved that.

I think Final Fantasy XIII will be a great game (I already have it pre-ordered), but there's no way in hell I'm trusting a Famitsu score.  Five years ago they were actually somewhat reliable.
