Because 9.5 is a bit too much and 8.5 a bit too little?

First of all all those games are awesom!

And the score is only the score that the reviewer thinks that that game deserves. Some people agree with him and some don't.

That's quite the provocative argument you've provided, there. High scores = "rigged", got it.

Gamespot's scoring IS rigged! MGS4 and GTA4 earing a 10...pfft! They are nowhere near revolutionary enough to earn a 10. Big over raters...In my opinion of course.

And in my opinion, and Gamespot's MGS4 did deserve a 10.

Haha. And if the TC doesn't think that's good enough put a "." in between the two numbers, and you'll have a more "diverse" score. Hey, Fallout 3 received a 9.2! :P

I have never put to much faith into any reviewer but after Kayne and Lynch I have lost any faith at all in GS's scoring. It showed what money can do to reviews here.

Ridiculous.

I went to IGN and saw people saying IGN was stupid because Fable 2 scored an 8.8

I liked the old Gamespot system better where everything wasn't rounded off in 0.5 intervals but TC, have you ever thought that games earned 9.0 because they deserved it in the reviewers eyes?

Hmm... I think that LBP, Fallout 3, Resistance 2 and possibly Gears of War 2 should have got 9.5's. I don't know about Dead Space, because I haven't played it. Bioshock on the PS3 didn't because they practically didn't add anything.

The TC may be on to something. His/her logic regarding this "conspiracy" seems airtight. Someone call Oliver Stone!

Technically speaking, fallout 3 got an 8.5.....on the PS3.

You were saying about rigged scores?

but seriously, they flopped Fable 2, Too Human, SOCOM, ect.....are we saying it was rigged then too?
