i look at the bleach and took no notice of the review only to comment that it look awfully like Guardian Heroes

then i noticed that Treasure Hekped Sega with the coding

Guardian heroes on the DS might be a possibility

[Soundwave]

The Treasure Bleach game is awesome had the Japanese version for a while now & it does play really well.

Pleased to see it got a good score.

[Mayhem]

And it has me in it, so it has to be a good issue

Games TM must really like sonic... I know its only IGN but didnt they give it a 3 or somthing?

[cavalcade]

The 9/10 for RE5 hasn't gone down well "elsewhere on the Internet".

Upto the same standard as Madworld? Somehow i think not.

Yeah the turds on 'the blue forum' are whining like bitches in heat.

Someone disagrees with our collective hatred??
*Huge explosion of **** and bile*

Yeah, I'll just wait for you to play through it, then you can get half your money back - everyone's a winner!

GTA IV: The Lost and the Damned - 9/10

This is one of those rare occassions where I've played a game before it's been reviewed. I'm glad to say I think this is a fair score. This game is short, focussed and mostly good fun. The bike races are particularly good, especially thanks to the fact they've improved the bike handling considerably.

If you were disappointed by GTA4, I urge you to give this a look.

Street Fighter IV - 8/10

Is no one going to comment on the prospect of a good 3D sonic game?!?!

Only other review I've seen of it was the Famitsu one which said it was average (They get a lot of stick for their reviews but I appreciate the "if you're a fanboy you'll think..." slant). Based on my playing experience so far I've give RE5 a 7 or 8.

I wonder in the Bleach game if it's impossible to die, every time you get to zero health you simply revive and become even stronger.

I think the fact is the GTM review is far from the general consensus of the game. The Mole has already posted the Game Rankings review average, and its not pretty.

I had a quick go on Sonic and was far from impressed, seams like nothing has been learned from Unleashed as its the same set of problems that stop it from being fun and make it a chore

Sure as hell not an 8
