Nice I'll read the review right now :)

You should. Written parts of the reviews speak more of a game's quality than the score itself

Word. It's amazing how concerned people are with the numbers.

For IGN reviews, I find the closing comments section to be the best for figuring out if a game is worth playing. The rest of the review is great for understanding the details of a game.

My Top 5:

Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid 3, Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Chrono Trigger

My 2 nex-gen systems: PS3 and Wii

Prediction Aug '08: We see the PSP2 released fall '09. Graphically, it's basically the same as the current system. UMD drive ditched and replaced by 4-8gb on board flash memory. Other upgrades: 2nd analog nub, touchscreen, blutooth, motion sensor. Design: Flip-style or slider. Size: Think Iphone. Cost: $199. Will be profitable on day 1.

Now we just need to see what IU gets and then I will ultimately decide whether I am getting ToV or IU

The score is good for a Tales game. Wonder what score they are going to give Infinite Undiscovery.

my guess is somewhere between 8.1 - 8.4

anyway, 8.2 is pretty good for a Tales game. Legendia got a 7.7 from IGN, Abyss got a 8.3 and Symphonia got an 8.5.

Really? I was thinking moe in the 8.4-8.7 range

EDIT:My range looks a little too high.

For a Cel-shaded jRPG, 80% range is a very good score.

"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

Conservatives: Pushing for a small enough government to be a guest in your living room, or even better - your uterus.

Damnit, I didn't know it was coming out this August...
If I buy a 360 now I won't be able to concentrate in school... Damn...
Screw it...

And I agree 8.2 is a good score.
TOtA (Arguably Tales best title) scored an 8.5 on IGN.
