Nah Layton is way too low imo. And NFS is an 8? Sounds odd compared to other views I've heard...

Scribblenauts seems to be getting a very easy ride critically all round, almost like its being scored for the scope of what its attempted rather than the quality of execution.

Just like Little Big Planet then.

I thought that Machinarium looked familiar, it's by the team that did Samorost 1 and 2.

They're brilliant, if you've not checked them out!

Reading ntsc's review I was quite interested in picking up Stoked, but a 4 is not good.

Yeah, I wonder why they didn't like it. I had a great time and haven't finished yet. Played it for hours and hours. I can see it's not for everyone, but if you like watching snowboard vids like the one below and want to do all the same stuff in a game and liked EA's Skate then this is solid (not nearly as polished as Skate though).

Welcome Home Chibi-Robo - 8

Did they review the Jap version? I can't find any info on a US or European release.

Yup was the Japanese version.

It's not getting a western release. So, yeah, Japanese version.

The Absinthe films have easily been my favourites season to season, at least since Robot Food disbanded.
I'll be picking up Stoked tomorrow regardless of the score as it seems to be exactly what I'm looking for in a snowboarding game.
