Gamekult: It will be understood, Black Ops attempts a daring: we dive into a specific historical period (here, the Cold War during the '60s, landing in the Bay of Pigs, the Vietnam War), but by introducing issues of pure fiction
This is an odd situation. COD is always overhyperd and overrated, regardless of the quality. But IW has gotten all the free passes, especially with MW2. Treyarch shouldn't get sh't for being the "other COD guys". Black Ops actually looks very good. The MP is severely improved, and the overall experince looks better than IW's game.
We can collectively hate Activision/Bobby Kotick, but should give Treyarch a chance. They seem to have done a good job on this one.
EDIT: If the game online, becomes a pile of poo do to glitched and cheaters, you all can hate it. But by that time Killzone 3, Crysis 2 will be out, so you'll have something new to move on to.
Meh, I read reviews for games like Vanquish and New Vegas that ranged from 5/10 to 10/10
these small time sites looking for hits are irrelevant as are ALL reviews. You think a game is good then it does not matter what score you give it, it's a good game end of story. You don't have sex with your wife and say that was good, but I must rate you out of ten. And see if you get the sex of the year award. Scoring games is pointless, just say if it's good or not. And spare us your flawed scoring system that you dreamed up in five minutes down the pub.
9 and 10 shoud be given to games that push the boundaries of what already have been done!COD BO dont make or introduce nothing new! 7 serves them well,because is the right score for a game like this!
The point of reviews are for people to understand whats featured in the game. If a games totally broken and you buy it from a store like Best Buy your basically out 60.00 you'd wish you hadn't spent because once you open it there are no returns. Or you can go to gamestop and get ripped 20 dollars for the 60.00 you spent.
this is probably the only real score we'll see for the game.
=/ im just gonna leave this article now and wait for IGN and GT's score....
for once i agree with gamekult.
Time to equip shotgun for stealing arms and legs of our poor opponents. Hmm.
... Hmm, indeed.
O.o
I wish I was cool enough to make my own opinions instead of relying on websites to tell me how good a game is based on a numeric value.
