So does cubed3 thinks rounding 9.9 equals 9, or did they adjust the review?

a 9.9 in a lot of reviewers eyes, is more then .1 less then a 10. my guess, is the reason they gave it a 9.9 in the first place was because they wanted to give it the best score that's not a 10.

They changed there ranking system, and it still has the best score that's not a 10.

Question though: Why do you care?

I can't put words in his mouth about why he cares but I'll add my opinion where it wasn't asked for.  I haven't played Ocarina nor do I care to.  I'm not a Zelda fan to begin with so it is pointless.  I do hate one thing in life with a passion, though -- and that is revisionist history.  If the game scored a 9.9, it should be a 10 in their new system.  If this were happening to GTAIV instead of Ocarina, the internet blogs would be ablaze with accusations of bias, payoff, fanboyisms, etc.

It wasn't a 10 for them then, why should it be a 10 now? I am sure the reviewer thought to himself "Wow, this game is perfect, other then this one thing I must ding it for".

That one thing is still there, so he would still ding the game for it, and give it the best score posable that's does not mean "perfect".

I don't care where games rank, but if you want to be fair about it all, giving it a 9 if you are on a whole point system, seems to better reperasent what the origonal reviewer meant then giving it a 10.
