[MonkeyWrench]

Some bloke from ilford called Andrew Campbell.

[Mr Ono]

Sniper Elite gets 9!!??

PCZone gave it 69% which put me off it.

May have to look at it now.

[Jusatsushi]

I thought Sniper Elite got an 8...

*runs to check*

yeah, twas an 8...

[Zanza]

Wow a 9 for Sniper Elite, it looked like just any other console fps/ww2 game, might also have to check it out!

[Kaladron]

7 for Nintendogs?! Were GamesTM feeling particularly cold-hearted when they played it?

[MonkeyWrench]

Yeah Sniper Elite got an 8, just a typo.

[HaHaUK]

Whats on the cover and what features are there?

Damn the post should have got mine this morning

[Kotatsu Neko]

The Burnout love continues. Amazing it didn't get another 10..!

Wonder how many sequels/remakes/re-releases it will take before people realise they are being sold the same thing over and over.

And Ouendan deserves a 9. It's a simple game but I'd never hold that against it. Simply the most fun I've had with a handheld game, well, since the original WarioWare. It's genius.

Got mine today, it's got a GTA LCS front cover and feature. Yuji Naka mini interview and er loads of reviews!!!

Burnout Revenge [XB] 9/10
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow [DS] 8/10
Burnout Legends [PSP] 9/10
Nintendogs [DS] 7/10

Those scores are so ****ed up. Should have been:

Burnout Revenge [XB] 6/10
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow [DS] 6/10
Burnout Legends [PSP] 5/10
Nintendogs [DS] 8/10

Scores are the opinion of the reviewer! Surely stating coldly that game whatever should have got an orange instead of a banana is redundant! Read the text, decide whether you think valid points are made, cross reference these with your own taste and judge whether the game is worthy of a purchase!

Why should anyones opinion be more valid than the reviewers? And why should the reviewers be more valid than your own?

Let it go... a score is only an opinion.

Fair enough point made there, but i've played all of those games mentioned in my original thread and in my opinion the scores given to those games aren't justified. Honestly, sometimes i wonder if these people play the games at all.
