definitely getting it over here on the 11th

Add a 8/10 from Play Magazine.

Play is the most idiotic game magazine i've ever seen, well at least they gave lair a 10.

Play sure isn't doing anything for their credibility.  What a ridiculous excuse for a magazine.  They gave Sonic the Hedgehog a 9 then Lair a 10, Heavenly Sword a 10, and now Phantom Hourglass an 8.  

If we want to see how stupid this makes them look:

Sonic the Hedgehog industry average 4.3
Play Magazine review 9.0
Difference: +4.7

Lair industry average 5.8
Play Magazine review 10
Difference: +4.2

Heavenly Sword industry average 8.1
Play Magazine review 10
Difference: +1.1

Phantom Hourglass average score 9.1
Play Magazine review 8.0
Difference: -1.1

These guys are all over the place.   I think the SDF has more accurate reviews than Play Magazine.

To think that people were using the Lair Play review as damage control only a month ago...feels like it was ages ago.

Lets forget about Lair ok? No since on beating a dead dragon. IGN could have burhaps bumped up the score to 9,5 from what i've read.

if Play Mag is so out of place, shouldn't their reviews be yanked from the avg scores?
what qualifications are there before your review can be among the scores?

I bet Gamespot will give it like a 7... max an 8.

If I had a DS I would buy this game... but I don't have one, so no.

That doesn't seem like much in terms of out of 10, but when you think about it in terms of
+47%
+42%
+11%
-11%

it makes it much more evident that something weird is going on

I was actually under the impression that Play Magazine was a solely PS magazine until i saw that they had a score for PH on it

they gave sonic a 6.5 and lair got a 9.
