Forget about the IGN review for a moment, and put aside fanboyism and alligiances for a sec,,,

in my book, if a game (MAG) is heavily hyped by its publisher (sony) as a huge EXCLUSIVE that makes you buy a PS3, and if this game receives reviews in the 70s and 80s, this this is an EPIC Fail in my Book on the part of ZIPPER an Sony, add to that that a lot of gamers nowadays read reviews before buying games !

i am not judging the game, so dont shoot me ok ? :), since all the reviews are not out yet, but mediocre reviews will lead to mediocre sales and generate a felling among gamers that its MEDIOCRE

For a "mediocre" game, it has some solid pre-orders. If the game scores in the 80s and has good word of mouth, I would hardly classify that as an EPIC FAIL. Refer to SOCOM's reviews and fanbase.

Socom, a game with a 63 or so Metascore and declared as a fail yet has quite possibly the most dedicated userbase on PSN.

Remember too that these scores on based on the initial game. Socom these days is nothing close to what it was when it was first reviewed and I am positive that MAG will be the exact same way. It will get great support from Zipper and over time it will only get better and better.

What more could a gamer ask for than that from the people making their games?
