It's very true that IGN and Gamespot base their reviews on hype and how big they think that they'll be. System Shock 2 got an 8.5 from Gamespot and a 9.0 from IGN. Resistance: Fall of Man got an 8.6 from Gamespot and a 9.1 from IGN. Resistance among gamers is not considered to be anymore than a decent FPS. System Shock 2 is regarded as one of the greatest games of all time. The gamers who played SS2 mostly decided this the first time they played it. IGN and Gamespot later admitted they were wrong essentially and put SS2 in numerous greatest game of all time lists. So why is it that the first time they played the game they didn't think so highly of it? Could it be the lack of hype and the fact that it wasn't Half-life? Resistance got special treatment because it was the most hyped PS3 game there was. There are a lot of other instances where IGN and Gamespot have given some of the greatest games of all times lacking reviews. Fallout 2 comes to mind.
