It's crazy that in Feb/March type issue it can review Bioshock 2, Mass Effect 2, Heavy Rain, Final Fantasy XIII and Battlefield: BC2 and they're all 9+ (Except Bioshock with 8.25). Just shows how mental this Q1 is :).
As for the FF score, good start, but I do worry whether it's cause it's a good game or a Final Fantasy game. With something like FF though every game is different and every game will get different reactions so I guess it's hard to really review the thing objectively and quantify it with a score :/.
Heavy Rain got a 9.5 btw x.
