Yeah I think people are just way over reacting :P 9.3 is a damn good score ^_^ I still live in the times where anything 80+ percent is a must buy :)
I don't like seeing other games that fall much shorter get better scores, THAT does irk me, but whatever, every place is allowed some degree of bias :D I will say that Metal Gear Solid 4 is a technical masterpiece, sporting some of the greatest production values seen to date in a video game ^^
From 0 to KICKASS in .stupid seconds.
