[heyheyhey]

quick question

why do some games have 3 scores and some have 1?

[Masta_fro]

Its been a while since ive seen an EGM mag, but if i remember correctly, some games are rated in averages, and some are devided into: Gameplay, Graphics, and Story.

[Relcom]

3 people review big releases, 1 person for the "small" releases

[Daver]

@1.2

I tought Spore was a big game

[bigcheda]

@1.3 - its spore: creatures, the DS version.

the PC version will definitely get 3 reviews

[heyheyhey]

thanks guys, bubbles

[gtgcoolkid]

I thought force unleashed was gonna be better. Tiger woods looks good though. Might check that out.

[dachiefsman]

Totally agree. As a fan out Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy, I was hugely disappointed with the demo. These scores really don't surprise me, but hey some people liked it.

I thought the controls and saber play in Outcast and Academy were superior to this game.

[Masta_fro]

Tiger Woods triple A?

Looks like golf fans will be busy soon...

[Jok3r]

Viva Pinata 2

\o/

Instant buy! Gotta love those little Pinatas :D
For $39.99 ALL of you should buy it ;D

[Relcom]

Max Panye PS3 Exclusive, awesome

And God of War 3 2010 :(

[Harry190]

Are there scans?

[Relcom]

its in the rumor section of course, scans? no
I assure you its true check the gaf

[Altis1]

F*ck that. I'm selling this PS3 now.

[sleepbox]

Hey homeboy, quit leading the ignorant with lies.

It stated: Rockstar Working on Max Payne 3 and Unannounced PS3 Exclusive ...

Those are 2 different games.

[TheColbertinator]

Viva Pinata got an A? Looks like Rare is back in the golden game mentality.

[Omega4]

Never would have thought Viva Pinata 2 to be a AAA game, hopefully Banjo should do the same

[Superfragilistic]

Well early days, but the first VP was AAA in my personal opinion and only slightly off according to Metacritic with an 84 average.

This bodes well for the second. And should be a pick up for anybody who's curious because that price point is a freakin bargain. Banjo looks even better... and for the same price! :)

[Harry190]

Guilty Gears Overture even managed to get a C-.

[mintaro]

Congrats to viva Pinata 2, looking to be even better than the first

[IzKyD1331]

damn, I guess force unleashed wasn't all it was cracked up to be

[ThaGeNeCySt]

Force Unleashed seems to be a decent game with great physics powering it... graphically, it's nothing to go googoo gaga about.. it's like an enhanced version of too human (with better controls and camera of course)

[Obama]

Too Human - C-, C-, D

[kingme71]

No Mercs 2 review?

Some of those scores are disappointing. I would have thought Star Wars would fare better.

Spores:Creatures is DS game?

[Cheeseknight28]

It's essentially the PC game with only the creature stage, rather than the single-celled -> fish -> amphibian -> creature -> man -> space stages (I know that's not the correct stages, but you get the idea)

[VWGTI]

Yea, Spore: Creatures is a DS game. Apparently you only play the creature stage and you just walk around collecting things. =/

[Azures]

Force Unleashed demo sold me on the game anyways. Force powers never get old.

[Nevers]

Thought, like everyone else, SW Force Unleashed would garner a bit better scores. I liked the demo... Force controls are gonna have a learning curve but I really thought it was a total blast... oh well.

[BYE]

Force powers don't make a game. There doesn't seem to be much more to it, and C is still a descent score.

[rhood022]

This is one of the reason's I don't like EGM. Some games get three reviews, others get one. It actually handicaps some of the bigger releases from getting the GOTM award.

For example, IF Star Wars had an A,C,C- for it's reviews it automatically loses to Tiger Woods who is awarded only with an A. Does that mean Tiger Woods is a better game? No it doesn't.

Also, why didn't Viva Pinata 2 get three reviews? I would argue that it's a pretty big release for MS.

[Vespertine]

Wow
Viva Pinata 2: Trouble In Paradise got game of the month.

I love the first Viva Pinata, so I'm definitely picking up the second one. It's gonna be fun playing online with friends raising pinatas together.

:)

[highdro]

I SAID FEEL THE POWER...................360 = :'(

PS3 = :)

[e-ray]

Do us all a favor and go hide in a cave.

Oh, and don't bring a laptop.

[fufotrufo]

FEEL THE POWER OF THE DISAGREE!!! :)

btw

VIVA PI~ATA GAME OF THE FUKIN MONTH!!!!! YEAHHH!!!

R A R E !! <3

[SolidSnake93]

Viva Pinata pulls out an A while Disgaea, just gets a B-, that's just messed up, oh and Disgaea was outscored by Mario Sluggers????????????????

[DrPirate]

I would argue that Disgaea is not a game for everyone.

SRPG fans LOVE the infinite leveling up, the amazing animations and great gameplay, but casuals or people not interested would definitely not be able to continue given the odd premise of the story and such.

The game is definitely an A in my eyes, I loved the first 2 AND Afternoon of Darkness. Disgaea fans will pick this game up regardless what the score was going to be, this review is for casuals.

[paskowitz]

...when I played the Force Unleashed it reeked of that PS2 game Psi Ops (minus lightsabers). personally I liked Psi Ops a lot more. Psi Ops had gore, exploding heads, spontaneous combustion and guns. I thought SWTFU was kinda dull but then again not many people liked Psi Ops. Oh well. It has been a while since I have played a good Star Wars game (battlefield, LEGO STAR WARS!!!!! (best game ever)). I guess the series is getting milked a little too much.

[Ri0tSquad]

I'm not a huge Star Wars fan but the game did look pretty good until I played the demo. The scores are no surprise after playing the demo.

[BYE]

Yeah, as soon as I played the demo, I felt totally ripped off. It's weird because it's just a free demo.

[user9422077]

good scores there
