Now it is 7, though that number is going to rapidly increase with GameSpot's loss of their critical eye. I can't comment on MGS4, I have not played it. Yet GTA IV, while an amazing game, should not be given a 10.

Because MGS4, as with all the other MGS's, have great dialog, graphics, and storytelling. The people at Kojima and Kunami know how to tell a good epic story. Sorry if you can't see that

The same has been said of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 and Chrono Cross.

6 if you count GTA4 once (360 and PS3). I'm not going to list them, its easy enough to find out yourself, takes three mouse clicks.

I disagree. I think both THPS3 and Chrono Cross both deserved a 10. But GTA4, definitely not a 10. MGS4 might be good, but I haven't played it yet. I personally wasn't a big fan of MGS 2 or 3, but I thought 1 was great.

Don't they only grade on half points now? Which means anything over 9.5 in the past would be a 10.

Or we could just chalk up review scores to subjective judgement and stop trying to quantify the incalculable, that is opinion.

Everyone has their own opinions. I'm sure there are many people who disagree with at least one of the 10s that GameSpot has given out in the past.

But I point out THPS3 and Chrono Cross because they're the ones I've seen the most complaints about.

Yep. :)
