| Nebulous said: I disagree about a lot of the things you think are better in GOW compared to NG, but fair enough ;).To each their own man. I will add though, that Ninja Gaiden 2 has way, way better weapons ;). And that visually, all Ninja Gaiden's = better than GOW :). GOW has an awesome sense of scale, and Kratos is a damn cool character though. I personally was really disappoint with how shallow thier depictions of the greek gods were though. And yes, in the end, Metacritic is somewhat useless. The truth is, different outlets, even different reviewers at the same outlet all have different ideas of what a 5 or a 6 means, never mind how absurd it is to judge games based on a single number in the first place :). and that Metacritic tried to shoehorn of of that into thier own ideal of what a grade score means. Metacritic, is a means to an end. Its an easy way to see what the general review population likes, and that's it. There is no problem, the only problem is when people can't decipher this for themselves, in my opinion. So ya, really, if EDGE gives a game a 7, thats's actually a very solid score. I always find it funny when people get thier panties in a twist because EDGE was critical of thier new favorite game though :)/

I'm glad you were comprehensive about my opinion, and didn't rage when I said that God of War has better graphs when compared to Ninja Gaiden =P I said that because God of War's demo was beautiful, and my TV, probably 8 or 9 years old, didn't really let me enjoy Uncharted's 2 potential. But with God of War 3, it was pure "awesomeness" lol Hopefully won't disappoint me, or anyone else, but if it does, I'll just blame the hype lol I agree with the rest you said, reviews are overated =P
