I think they are just a pretty crappy site in general...there hasn't been any reason to visit it in years.

It certainly is not love, to give Rayman's Legends a 9 on PS3 & a 8 on Wii U, same reviewer & all, that's just trolling Gamespot's readers IMO!!!

That's one thing I don't understand at all. Rayman Legends was built for the Wii U and the Wii U alone. To give it a lesser score is nonsensical.

Pretty much!!

Tthe score on DK: TF is hilarious too...

They just didn't like those particular games, maybe? They did give their 2013 GotY to ALBW.

Well 2 of those scores seem fair...

Which ones? 3/4 are released so far. In another day Kirby will be and the average for it at this point is 7.5ish.

Yoshi and Zelda... I think Skyward Sword is my least favorite Zelda though.

I understand the Yoshi's New Island Review... But to give Tropical Freeze only 1 extra point over that is ridiculous. Tropical Freeze is one of the best platformers ever!

What says you?

Yoshi's New Island is a pos. That's what I says.

I don't think that they really hate Nintendo considering that they have given a lot of their games really good scores. That said, their reviews confuse me at times. How is a lack of checkpoints during a boss fight a legitimate complaint?
