Lots of surprising reviews this month :

10 for Halo 3 when Edge dont even give a 10 every year

only 7 for MP3 when its so well received almost everywhere else

3 and 4 for Lair and Two Worlds, i know they are not really good but that bad ? 

What do you think about such reviews ?

Bye.

Wow, I really don't like to make a stink about reviews...but giving Prime a 7 while giving Halo a 10 is pretty ignorant. I'm sure plenty of folks will disagree and hashing out the reasons is pretty pointless since its been done here before but I thats some pretty thick BS. If I cared more I'd wanna know why but its not worth it.

If there is anything you can learn from reading reviews its that people who write reviews don't really represent the viewpoints of most gamers because there is no such thing as most gamers. There is too much niche BS and bias going around to take the word of anybody you don't personally know and/or trust.

I don't know why, but I think this set of reviews has really driven that point home for me..yup..I'm swearing off of reviews. They are all officially morons!

Time to Work !

Even giving Lair a 3 is pretty harsh. They might get away with it if they were consistantly harsh, but Halo 3 isn't actually a perfect game.

Its funny.. there are a lot of harsh ones, and several lenient ones.. there are no 'normal' reviews this month from EGM

Sad sad sad for the PS3.. Xbox 360 claims the best reviews as usual...

They gave Lair a 3? So that means Lair killed a baby, yes?
