Ign said we have to have higher standards for the new gen in the video review. They ended it with a 8.7 but could have easily gotten a 9 or higher from how the review sounded.

I like IGN but sometimes their scores don't match their descriptions. The review will consistently praise the game and make the viewer/reader believe it's going to be a 9.0+, but then it turns out to be anywhere from 7.5-8.9. It happens quite a few times to be honest.

I was talking about the fact that the reviewer actually said we have to have higher standards because it's next gen. That sounds like he gave it a lower score on purpose so games that come out later can have higher scores.
