Forums - Sony Discussion - MGS4 the most controversial reviews in the world.

http://www.ripten.com/2008/06/03/two-mgs4-reviews-two-authors-same-words-different-scores/

 Am I reading this right? CVG and Gamesradar used (copy and pasted?) PSM3 UK's MGS4 review on to their site to be used as their own reviews and gave the game different scores? the point that they won't write their own review is already strange, not to mention it was taken from a Playstation magazine of all sources. Are they reviewing the PSM3 review or the MGS4 review?

Chalk up another controversy for the MGS4 review scene.

hmm that is very weird,i wonder why they would do that



tag:"reviews only matter for the real hardcore gamer"

Sucks for the PSM3 author who didn't get credited.




What is that sound I hear? Oh, it's the reputation of the gaming press being flushed down the drain.

The article also says that CVG, PSM3, PSW, Gamesradar and Edge are all owned by the same company (Future Publishing)

 Only one review should be counted from those five subsidiaries of Future Publishing.

but they could atleast change the reviews a bit

MGS 4 deserves perfect scores across the board. It is a shame that it will not happen. An 8 out of 10 from Edge put an end to MGS 4 of getting the highest review score average of all time. :(
