I personally think that the .5 review system is limiting a lot.. (7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 8.5 and so forth)ESPECIALLY since Gamespot is already pin point on all their reviews in terms of finding everything right and wrong about a game..
Make the reviews .25. (7.0, 7.25, 7.5)
I can bet for example, that if the OLD system was back, games like bioshock instead of getting a 9.0, it would have gotten a 9.3 or 9.2. And also, because Bioshock was such a great game, and the fact that it got a 9.0, it was pretty much CERTAIN that a game like Metroid Prime 3 would get an 8.5.. Where before, it would probably get that 9.0 or a 9.1. Which then brings to the future theat the review system is also predictable as well..
I don't know, its like to me, the new review system contradicts itself. it's like Gamespot is tough on reviews (Which is good) yet their number review system is simplistic.
Who bets that Halo 3 gets a 9.5? And Mario Galaxy gets an 8? Watch..
