I disagree. A game might not be outstanding to everyone, but if it has a niche that it is outstanding to, then it can be so. I think Heavy Rain is outstanding, even if others feel otherwise about, and no one will ever convince me that it isn't. I can accept that it isn't for everyone, but for those who it does appeal to, it's in a league of its own.
And I'm not quite sure what you are trying to say with Wii Sports. Should it have been given a higher score out of popularity? Because that's what we call corrupting the system. I think Wii Sports sucks, and I don't have any expectations of it being up to a certain standard in HD games. It's just boring imo.
And for the record, MGS4 was my first MGS game, and I fucking loved it!
