Agreed. Numbers are meaningless. The words are everything. Better yet, your opinion is everything. But it is smarter to follow reviews, before buying a game anyway, because there's too much shovel ware out there. I mean, having your own opinion is, believe it or not, "expensive?" Why? Because in order to have your own opinion, you have to buy it, and I think it's safe to say, the low review score for Imagine: Babyz for the Nintendo DS, is accurate enough. Unless you borrow the game from a friend, or something, but still. It's a lot more convenient to briefly go by review scores, read the reviews, and if you were ever interested in the game, and perhaps if the reviews are good enough, buy it, then have a final opinion. I am not judging the game, but merely, stating that your own opinion may have a lower chance of you liking the game, seeing how 91% is pretty low, this early on for a MGS4 review, "however," NG4 is probably better than GameRankings, because it has 35 reviews, instead of 11, and since it's at 9.6 on that website, the opinion of this thread has severely been altered, so rest assure, I now believe this game may actually be a KILLER HIT, and may even live up to the hype. We will see. I am not judging the game. I was just saying that it may not be as good as you think, but no longer should that be, since, we'll, 9.6 on NG4 with 35 reviews is fucking awesome.
