HHG and me agree on something? BY THE GODS!!!

But seriously, he's actually pretty cool and definitely comes at things from more of a gamer's perspective rather than a 'nit-pickin' critic's perspective.

I think his view on Gamespot is well... 'spot' on if you pardon my word play. 2k10 ps3 gets smashed for lower quality in comparison to the 360 version but FF13 gets same score on both version even though there *IS* a noticeable difference between the two... Is some sort of disconnect going on here? I think so...

And in regards to IGN, I don't think the review for god of war 3 was bad. I mean just read it! If anything, they have nothing but positive things to say. I can't imagine how anyone could walk away from pretty much any god of war 3 review and not feel pumped for the game (I've read ALOT of them so trust me).

...The problem though, just like HHG points out, is the final score... I'm a little (alright very much so) baffled on how IGN came to the conclusion that graphics is a 9.5 but MW2 is a 10. I don't understand how sound was anything but a 10. As for presentation, I guess IGN had a thing against the story or somethin'... Possibly. I've heard it's really artsy which could anger some individuals... but the category is PRESENTATION, not story...

So where does the highly innovative FUCKING MOVING LEVELS drop off? How about these awesome and unique boss fights come into play? What category I ask... Graphics? Apparently not because that got a 9.5, plus, set pieces and game design don't really fit into graphics... so I guess the only other option is presentation which mind you got an 8.5. Hmmm... interesting...

I really wish that IGN had some sort of call in show or forum where they answered questions about reviews and discuss particular games in length. Damn, do I have so many questions...
