Jim Sterling just gave Resident Evil 6 a 3 out of 10.

I think I can handle a 6.5.


Now that is an outrage! Seriously. Unless other reviewers are giving it mediocre scores as well.

It's not really an outrage, it's just Jim Sterling. He does these things. It's getting generally disappointing scores from other critics, but more in the 7-8 range.

As for Pokémon, I'll wait till I've actually played the game before I make a judgement. ("I've never played the game before, but I know you're full of sh*t.") In particular, the line "You've played better versions of this before," has me unable to retort. Skyward Sword was a completely new and different experience for the series and the genre. This is still a Pokémon game, and that's fine, but if it's not "better" than previous games, I can see where he's coming from.

It still looks really excellent and I'm still going to buy it, though. The thing is, I haven't played a better version of this before. Haven't played a Pokémon game since Crystal. So maybe he shouldn't have assumed that Pokémon games only appeal to hardcore fans who play every iteration.
