I loved it actually. I think it transcends the boundries of the "puzzle game" genre. I also love "World of Goo." Again, I just used examples. I don't really hate puzzle games, but I do hate stuff like bejeweled lol.

I will stab you in the face!! If you don't stop calling me mean...lol, j/k.

Anyway, this guy deserves it. He struck out in anger and said a comments about things that he didn't know much about, so I corrected him with prudent assertiveness.

Sure scores don't mount up to much if you like a game but what if you want to find out if a game is as good as the hype? there is a place for scores. As for Fable 2, i wish that was on its way to the PS3, sounds like a game i would enjoy.

Or littlebigplanet isn't that great and the very vocal supporters on the internet are in the minority? The beta was a pretty bad game

Gears of War 2 currently stands at a 4.4 user rating. It would seem as though there has been a backlash from the Sony community. (Although according to Zen we can't jump to conclusions.)

So in all possibilty it could be one deranged Sega fan sabotaging the scores of games on both sides in an effort to start a fanboy war.

This is written at the bottom of the review scores page on metacritic:

"My advice for our faithful users is to focus your attention on the Metascore for this game and not the thousands of user votes, most of which have been submitted before said users have played the game. This is a gaming community, and if people want to stuff the ballot box, there's not much I can do at this point. When we upgrade the registration requirements for participation on the site in the near future, this type of thing won't happen. We'll post the full legitimate user reviews upon the game's release. As always, thanks for using the site."

case and point.

Gears of War 2 has about 200 votes while the LBP game has over 2000 votes. Now, that's not proportional now is it? All games are target of silly people... but the LBP case senario is a bit overwhelming wouldn't u say?

Although, I predict that the metacritic user score for x360 will soon suffer a backlash. It would only be logical that fanboys will retaliate :)

Who cares about fanboys rating, We know the game will be huge, the reviews have been nice, buy the game and go play it.

This is nothing new, fanboys have been doing this for ages, even here. It's the reason why I don't even bother with user reviews.

Also, why can't Fable 2 still get RPG of the year?
