ign gives out high scores like candy. I can't wait until the next high profile game that gets a predictably high score. They are the feel good site, they make all fan boys feel good when they see a high score next to their favorite game.

 

ign gives some low scores too, like assasins creed and no more heroes

When did No more heroes ever become a high profile game anyways?  GTA 4 and Metal gear solid 4 are high profile, not any game you have a liking for.  Every site gives out low scores for some big games, IGN just gives more high scores to a huge majority of big games. 

I wouldn't bother using gamespot anymore, any site that uses .5 increments is already a joke.  If you're going to put credence in point scoring in your review system, why would you ever go to a less accurate point scale?  Terrible idea to change it to that for them.  The only bigger joke than that is the grades that 1up changed to.  They're so kewl and legit now with that 4w3s0m3 original idea.  I'm sure everybody is putting much more focus on their written reviews instead of just looking at scores now.

Like their Ninja Gaiden 2 review?

 

I didn't see their review for it.  I'm sure it's 8 or higher.  Are we under the delusion NG 2 is a huge game?  I love the series and all but I'm not going to pretend it's a big game.  Maybe microsoft is, hopefully the game sells at least a million though.  Great game, deserves it.

That's really cute that you're going to continually point out the same game over and over and ignore the concept of "exceptions to the rule" even though I already answered that.  Everything's black and white in your world apparently. 

Just close your eyes and let the good feelings from IGN go over you.  They will make you happy about your purchase.    Bless them

It's kinda true, I mean even Time Crisis 4 got a 9.0 out of 10...

Folklore also got 9.0/10 (I think it deserved, but significantly higher than any other site)



Has anyone that's posted actually player Guiter Hero on the DS? It's just not Guitar Hero.



^its not but thats doesnt mean it cant be fun
