yea i know. there has to be 1 bad seed or totally off review in the bunch.

theres nothing wrong with site promotion

Just checked it says 91 out of 62 reviews. Dohnuts!

In fact the high scores reviews come first... so the meta down 1 or 2 points until top 90 reviews.

Gears 3 may end 91 or 90 metascore.

Edit - Bit-Gamer give it a 7.5.

"While our biggest complaint is Gears of War 3's refusal to deviate substantially from the tried and tested formula of the series, we have to concede it does what it does extremely well. Gaming clichés such as switch-flipping, sniper sections and boss battles are used throughout, and the rigid linearity can be frustrating, but underneath it all is still a refined, polished shooter that can't really be knocked for falling back on conventions it helped create."

I got the game from Amazon today. Epic/Microsoft decided to use an ultra flimsy case. I could have sworn my game was not latched in right before I opened it.

Lol one site gave it a 67/100 and its on metacritic.

Sunk it back down to 91 too. Doubtful it's going back up. That's a huge hit.

I haven't looked and I don't plan to look but I'm willing to bet that the site that gave it a 67/100 did it for the attention that bad reviews of good products always get. I remember going to Rotten Tomatoes for reviews of Toy Story 3. Out of all of the positive reviews, I found myself clicking all of the negative reviews (even though there were only 3 or 4). If it's someone's opinion, more power to them. It's just that it's is so far from the opinion of everybody else. They won't get a "hit" from me.

Looks like Gears is going to rest at 91. It takes quite a few perfect scores to raise a 67 back up above 91%. I don't see it happening. Won't hurt my enjoyment of the game in a couple of hours, though. It just sucks.

*Edit*  Okay.  I admit it.  I was weak and I clicked on the link.  I skimmed the review to avoid spoilers but I didn't agree with much of what I saw.  They actually said that Gears 3's graphics was one of the worst examples of what the Unreal Engine could do.  WTF!?  Their final score wasn't a 67%, though.  It was a B-.  I guess a "B-" translates to a 67% on Metacritic.  Oh well.  Whatareyagonnado? *shrugs*
