InFamous > Prototype.

I hate to compare games, but we had Infamous vs Prototype threads here for the past few months. Sony gets both games, and the better game :)

Wait for Metacritic and GameRankings to finish with it first, then you may be able to make that claim.

Anything under 8.0 at IGN is usually bad.

Also considering the fact that it's competition (Infamous) was rated a 9.2 just a few weeks ago...

I am scared of what edge and Eurogamer will do to this game.

IGN and GameSpot are the only reviews that really matter.

1up, Kotaku, and a couple other sites have credibility. But for the most part, Metacritic is full of reviews from no-name websites that shouldnt even have a say in the matter.

I'm sorry, IGN needs to rethink their review system, Prototype would be my favorite sandbox game this gen, if not for inFAMOUS!!!! It IS that good!

Sucker Punch moneyhatted IGN comfirmed!

... wait can that happen actually? , i mean sony doesn't do it, but can their smaller teams do it without knowing? xD

edit: nah i think im tired and im talking crap.
