Meta critic now has its first score from Game Informer their verdict 95

http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-360/halo-reach

Oooh I hope my issue of Gameinformer arrives soon!

Hmmmm but a 95 seems pretty low...does Gameinformer give out 10's very ofter?

Wow I just looked and they rated Halo 3 better.....thats so stupid that they think Halo 3 is better then Halo Reach.  I guess it looks like Halo Reach will score lower on metacritic and gamerankings then Halo 3 did (so probably a 91-94)

I don't know, but based on scores they gave other recent shooters 95 ranks better then the 94 the gave MW2 and just under the 96 they gave Uncharted 

correction they gave Uncharted 2 a 100 and MW2 a 98

Exactly....the Uncharted 2 I can live with but MW2 outscoring Halo Reach is just an insult.

@ John

The only review score that should matter to you is your own. Is a 98 for MW2 going to change how you feel about it or make you want to play it all of a sudden? Would an 85 make you like Halo 3 any less? It's another nice thing to gloat about when you are playing that game with other fanboys but does it really affect you that much? I'm sure the answer to all my questions is "No".



I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.

Yeah I know man, its just that when your really proud of something and really like it you want to see it do good.  I know I shouldn't get so worked up about this but its so hard not to.

Halo 3 outscoring Halo Reach is not an insult but it is pretty stupid since Halo Reach is a big step up from Halo 3.

i think that the standards had changed since 2007, that's why Halo 3 is supposed to be "better" than Halo:Reach, because back then, the standards were not as high as nowadays.

I understand, I've felt that way before about a few different things. Eventually you realize that getting pissed about it only really affects you. Just tell yourself that everyone else is an idiot and you'll be ok =)

Haha yeah thats some good advice right there.....I predict I will say the word "idiot" at least 200 times in the next 24 hours
