Only 87% from a mag in their home country?! I'm in shock. This is so bad news.

There goes 90% Meta. :/

They scored Gears 85. That got 94. Don't be so ridiculous.

Then again, Gears is closer to 85 than 94 imo.

Nobody would be surprised or care what you think about a 360 exclusive ....

Say whuuut?? What was that all about, having a bad day?

PS.

4 reviews is nothing to cry over.

I still remember Mass Effect's lowest score being a 7.5.

Just wait for more review; we've still got time.

WTH!

I'm so freaking upset. This was going to be our new super franchise on the Xbox for years to come and it all started with disaster.

This will surely score into the 90's in total. Can't wait to play it myself!

Hyruken; let's ship her a copy of Ninjabread Man and tell her to lay off the grown up games!


As i said i got nothing against the fact she is female. I have something against her gaming experiences.

These are the previous games she has reviewed

Dead or Alive: Paradise - psp
Muscle March - wii
Super Monkey Ball: Step & Roll - wii
Plants vs. Zombies - iphone 
Matt Hazard: Blood Bath and Beyond - 360
Critter Crunch - ps3
Tony Hawk: RIDE
We Sing - wii
Buzz!: Quiz World - ps3
Jambo! Safari - wii
Jak & Daxter: The Lost Frontier - psp
LittleBigPlanet - psp
Take That Singstar - ps3

She rated games like Buzz higher then this. Should someone with that catalogue of reviews be reviewing something like this? Personally i think not.

how is alan wake a generic shooter? It's a thriller fairly different from most games released this generation so far..

LOL epic fail is epic.

 

Eurogamer reviewed a lot of games way below the overall metacritic score.

  • Splinter Cell Conviction: 7/10 Meta: 86
  • Gears of War: 8/10 Meta 94
  • RockBand 8/10 Meta: 92
  • Dead Space 7/10 Meta 89
  • Dragon Age Origins: 6/10 Meta: 86 (!!!)

 



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Ehhhh...Buzz is amazing!

It's not hard to believe that she rated Buzz higher than Alan Wake. I know I would rate Buzz higher than most games I play.

Underrated franchise to say the least.

The Fable franchise has never had a 90+ rated game on Meta. It's sales have never touched Gears/Halo levels either.

You didn't expect Alan Wake to be Gears/Halo level did you? It's in line with Fable. As long as it doesn't bomb, there will be a second.
