Atleast Uncharted and R&C should be good.

Crap games can sell ,for example Mario Party 8 .


The official Playstation Magazine has given HS a 8.9 in Germany .Those mags arent very friendly to bad games as it would seem .

Now more review news ....

Eurogamer has given Blu Dragon a 5 .....

And Kotaku has played Lair and says that they like it a lot and that Factor 5 has nailed the motion controls ...

Whats happening ?Why this WILD discrepancy ?

"Whats happening ?Why this WILD discrepancy ?"

The same thing that is happening to DS and Wii reviews (speaking about Lair, I do not know if HS has motion controls).

We are going out of the realm of traditional controls, where no set standard exists so some reviewers like the controls and others don't leading to mixed reviews (see Sonic&TSR, SSX Blur, trauma Center, countless DS games) and to great games having lower metacritic/gamesranking averages (which is why the PSP has got more higher ranked games than the DS though most people prefer DS games).

Eventually these new control mechanism will be better accepted and better done by developers and there should be less discrepancy between review scores.

Interesting times we live in.

We can not trust reviews this gen. The hole game industry is to screwed up right know to get an honest opinion out of anyone. With the Wii having motion, and some feeling that PS3 ripped off the wii. Even if a dev found a great way to use sixaxis some revs woulds say it still sucked compared to wii mote 6/10 GP. Then you will have the guy that can't stand the way Wii is trying to ruin gameing and he gives the same game a 8.5/10 in gameplay. So then you have this dumb ass score thing going on:

Pro PS3 No PS3 Pro Wii No Wii
Presintation 9.5 9.5 7 7
Graphics 9.5 9.5 8 6
Sound 9.5 6.5 8 5
Gameplay 8 5 10 8
Overall 9 6.5 8.5 6.5

IMO with the reviews being that varyed they don't tell anyone shit. At this point in time if a game looks interesting to you go buy it. IF you like PS3 and a game looks interesting you will like it, the same with any other system. If Mass effect gets a 7.5/10 I will be pissed if people go oh fuck that game. The same goes with SMG.

It's too early for a full on review of the game, so don't give up on it yet until September when it hits the states.

........  (shakes head)

Reality - 90% of Hus' posts are ridiculous like this one.

Next Gen Ireland isn't Playstation exlcusive. Just pretty Playstation biased and Playstation focused. They review a few other system games.

I can't blame you for thinking it's Playstation exlusive considering the banner however. Also based on the fact that they only post playstation based news.

Considering how many games they've reviewed (They have none listed for other systems in two of their three sections) they seem like a few guys with PS3s who likely live in ireland and reveiw whatever games they feel like, either through them already being out or them playing a demo and filling out the rest with info that can be found.

Gamepro, 9/10

Some one knows what great really is.

Developers always overjudge the time it will take to play.  The time developers give usually relates to how long it will take a "poor" player to finish it.  Or atleast that's been my exiperence.
