I'm more curious as to what their reasoning was behind Dead Space's 6.5?

All the other previews and reviews (albeit small # of them) have been very positive.

Not Exclusive -3 points.

Which is why Fallout 3 is higher than Fable 2 right?

You gotta pick the right moments man...

I believe he was being sarcastic....

 

Gee I didn't think of that before I posted, thanks! For that sarcasm to even make sense there would have to be no non-exclusive games beating an exclusive game when he posts that anyways. Think about it.

Here's clever sarcasm, starcraft styled.  So I heard the next thing they are pulling out of the Fable 2 limited edition (besides pulling everything they originally promised and built in co-op) is the actual game itself!  They are just going to sell the booklet for $10 because they know you will buy it.

Unless the DLC is Shivering Isles Jr then it won't be worth much unfortunately. If it's knights of the nine or horse armor again, nobodys going to give a crap about it. Hopefully they give me something decent to get.

It's an official magazine, what do you expect?

It's the same as OPM's 10/10 for LBP. Means nothing, essentially.



A 6.5 for Dead space?

Ouch!

The game looks great from the trailers, I hope it isn't a dissapointment.

IGN give it 8.7 and other site give it A+ .. maybe OXM didnt like horror games.

Be it as it may, the fact it has exclusive content saves it from the -3 modifier thus turning my sarcastisc comment apropiate within the context =)

It doesn't really matter what scores those games got I'm still getting both, but I'll probably get Fallout 3 for the PS3.

Why is that, I'm just wondering? Don't be afraid to answer truthfully, I'll protect you.

 



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

Well the first reason quited honestly, is that I don't have enough games for my PS3.  The second reason, I have found that some of the multi-platform games have a little better sound on the PS3 even if the graphics between the PS3 and 360 are comparable.  And no I'm not flaming any of the consoles, I own both a 360 and PS3 and love them both.
