Fixed.

Not a 9.8, but look  http://www.gamespot.com/gears-of-war-3/reviews/6334586/gears-of-war-3-review 

also

COD and its rehashes got 8.5-9s 

If the reviewer actually knew how to use the motion controls, this game would of gotten a 9 probably.  The problem with the reviewer is, from his attitude he went into his review to purposely seek out the negatives in the game, with barely looking for anything positive.  He didn't play the game right he didn't put any effort forth to try and get the motion controls right.  He shouldn't of reviewed this game at all if he didn't even put any effort to play it correctly.

Actually it's my full name. "killer" is my real name

The video review in YouTube is on FIRE.
It is a matter of time before they alter wikipedia with hate comments again, send venom to the reviewer and burn Gamespot's HQ.
That'd be well deserved

This should be entertaining.

Good job, Tom.

As a former GameSpot employee, I thought I'd offer my perspective, since I know what the reviewers go through. Tom knows his stuff, is professional, and takes his role seriously. I'm also confident that, for such a big and beloved franchise, his score was thoroughly reviewed by his editors, and he had to convince him that he was right. To put it another way, he would have had to build a certain amount of consensus around his score. GameSpot puts the reviewer's name at the end of its reviews because they want to make clear that the review is the *site's* opinion, it just happened to be written by a single person.

Most of the people posting here haven't played the game yet. If you haven't and you are calling Tom an idiot, you're the definition of a fanboy - there's no other explanation. I personally love Zelda, don't care if it's formulaic, and will pick up this game regardless of the review. I expect/hope to disagree with Tom's opinion. But I'm willing to consider his perspective valid.

The world doesn't have to agree and I think the industry's monotony is part of the problem, I wish there was *less* of a herd mentality. The review world also agreed on GTA IV as a masterpiece, I thought it was interesting but wasn't fun, and there's no way I would've given it the scores others gave it - I think they got sucked up in the hype. Other M also got solid reviews and then suddenly people woke up and decided it wasn't that great. That can happen to any game - and until we play it, we don't know.

As for GS giving the original Zelda a 7.2, that's not quite true. They were reviewing it on the Wii version, and judging it by today's standards. If you wipe away nostalgia and play that game as a modern one, it's hard to imagine giving it a higher score than that.

so according to GameSpot this new Zelda game is worse than House of the Dead Overkill ( one of the most poorly made jokes of a game i have ever played). Absolutely unbelievable.

Chill guys, this is an outlier.

An out 'n out liar.

I'm 30 hours in and haven't had to recalibrate once. He must have Miyamoto's wiimote from E3 or something. IR pointer, lol, IR is slower than motion plus (assisted) pointing. Switching items has never been faster.

is this the lowest score so far?

For some reason, it feels like I haven't posted on this site in a while.  >_> Anyway, I heard they compain about the controls. According to the owner of GoNintendo, which I 100% trust, the controls are perfect. and I'm sure they will be. GameSpot has gotten so bad.
