Lol, well, one guy less who hasn't made up his mind.

You seem to be a fan of shooters, have you played with the Pinguin Cross Gun or whatever is called?

And why do you think Dead Space got better reviews overall?

I am not a fan of shooters, but I liked Dead Space and I am a Resident Evil fan since the first game, that's why I ended up buying both "guided first person experiences". I have no clue what gun you mean.

About the reviews, I have a theory, but it's some crazy stuff and I would need to look at more data. But I think it comes down to some reviewers more or less intentionally inflating and deflating scores of certain games. Like "hardcore games" that are bound to flop will get higher scores and sure sellers will get lower scores. All this to get more proof that the good games don't sell on the Wii.

Sounds crazy, but I have a very similar theory, though I think of it this way - it's not that they will intentionally inflate a score when they think it will flop, they just allow themselves to give the game its real score. While if it is a major/hyped title that may succeed, the will look for every existing (and non existing) fault and deflate the score severely. May be crazy, but it certainly feels that way, regardless of whether it's true or not.

 

OT: regardless of anything else, the more shaky camera in DSC is a strong factor for me in favor of DSE, as shaky cameras can make me sea sick. And I like SF space horror much more than zombie horror.
