Great score, but we really shouldn't make a new thread for every incoming review....

You mean kind of like how they hated the Orange Box (PC) and Half-Life 2?
wait a minute....
Edit: Just saw the past reviews in OP.... I can't legitametely, with a straight face, say that a review site is good if they have Halo 3 anything above an 85..... This makes their review almost worthless now....damn... just when I was getting excited too.

Although I don't know much about the website MEGamers, I can't actually access the site to read the full review, and I think we should wait for more reviews from sites like IGN and Gamespot, it still is an impressive score.
I was a bit surprised to see this review so early -- it's on Metacritic as well now -- and a little more suprised at the score. Looking good so far; but, like others, I'll be waiting to see what the big sites say before getting too excited.
I know hating on Halo is cool, but as I said, all the games shown have had bloated scores. Halo 3 is a lot better than some of you are giving it credit for.

Okay, I was hoping there was another explanation, but I'll change that.
Luckily they're under new management and hopefully don't hate the PS3 as much.
Before anybody throws the LBP A+ at me, look at the scores for:
-MGS4
-Resistance 2
-Gears 2
-Wii Music
-Soul Calibur IV.
EDIT: Halo 3 wasn't that bad. It wasn't the second coming of Christ that some people hyped it to be, it added...nothing, but it was still an excellent game, deserving of around a 9.
9.8 is just ridiculous. These reviewers appear to be shooter lovers.
On a slightly different topic, KZ2 > Halo 3!

Yeah... I don't see many problems with those reviews, though GoW2 was more of an A-, B+ material....
@Montana
My score is just based on how good it is relative to other games of its type, not the overall quality.

You know there are only about 3 reviewers in the world who gave Halo 3 less than an 8.6, right?

Sadly... There aren't that many that gave such low scores to GTA IV too.
