Great. Can't wait until this is averaged into Metacritic and Gamerankings. I don't think that any game deserves to surpass Ocarina of Time.

gamerankings doesn't include reviews from maxim, for obvious reasons of them being.. well.. for obvious reasons

if you don't believe me for whatever reason, here's your proof: http://www.gamerankings.com/itemrankings/sites.asp?sort=&pagenum=2 , maxim not there

 

Regardless, it is going to average around 95% or less, which won't be in the top 10, let alone dethrone number 1

I don't think anyone will trust Maxim for any reviews ever again.

Indeed. Many mediocre games were given high review scores by Maxim. Smash doesn't have blood, guts or a ton of bouncy breasts, so I'm actually surprised by the score they gave em. They must have given it a 4 instead of a 2 or 3 due to Zero Suit Samus.

This is the SAME magazine that rated Sudeki 5 out of 5 but gave Fable a 4 out of 5.

*edit* WOW, they gave The Sims Online a 5 out of 5.....  They've GOT to be 'selling' review scores to give THAT game such high marks.

Poor PS3 Sales Means Smaller Losses

"Actually, because the number of units sold was not as high as we hoped, the loss was better than our original expectation," Quotes from Sony’s CFO Nobuyuki Oneda.

Neither of the ranking sites qualify Maxim as an effective review.

 

Check out gamerankings. At the top is says "Only bolded reviews count in the average" Even if they show maxim, it isn't averaged in.

 

Metacritic uses the weighted average assigning each site a value to which it can count towards the average.

 

That said, this game won't beat OOT nor SMG on either site, its nearly too late for that already. It could still make the top 10, but if it stays above 9.5, I'll be VERY happy, as review wise, its already one of the best games this gen.

 

@macross, I'm pretty sure Xplay will get it another perfect score like famitsu, lol.

Mens magazines know squat about videogames. Nuts gave Pokemon diamond/pearl 1/5 and if I remember super mario galaxy only got like 2/5
