GTA4 preview and nothing about SSBB?

I might check out the new God of War and Final Fantasy for the psp.



@ zen

He said he only mentioned the games with good ratings.

What game got a rating you disagree with?

Their last issue had a cover story about 2008 being the year of PS3.



Btw, what the hell are they doing using letters? That's retarded. They had the best review system, imo.

Grades are on scale from 50 to 100 instead of 0 to 100. F is supposed to represent 0 to 60, but it doesn't. They used to review based on the whole scale. Do they list what the letters mean? An F should be 0 to 19, D 20 to 39, C 40 to 59, D 60 to 79, A 80 to 100. Oh well.

No Brawl score? WTF is up with that?

Also, how come I get the feeling those scores mean absolutely nothing, and every game gets an ABA.

I think it's advertising buyoff, personally.

Terrible magazine that fails, just because of the confusing jumble.

 No Brawl score because Nintendo didn't get them a reviewable copy in time.

polishfor life didn't put every game they reviewed in his post. There were quite a few games that got C's and D's.

EGM has been barking for over a year about publishers trying to pressure them on their reviews, and how they have refused and been cut off from certain publishers. So basically, you couldn't be more wrong.

Not a terrible magazine, but certainly not what it used to be. The letter scoring system is lame, I'll give you that. I don't buy their line about how letter scoring is easier to understand. I think they are doing it because a "C" is much easier for a publisher to swallow than a "5".

LOL am I the only one who reads EGM and noticed this on the boards.. look at the month for the mag... April. The letters have got to be the April fools joke this year, that and the Lego Halo.
