Looks like any majorly hyped game from now on that is decent (or company throws a few moneyhats) will get a 10. :|

SMG does not deserve a 10..

Hell, IMO it doesn't even deserve GOTY when other great games like Halo 3 and CoD4 came out in 2007.

Just because a game doesn't "stand out" for you, doesn't mean they don't stand out for others. Different strokes for different folks. I dislike a lot of gamings biggest franchises. It's only normal that everything is not for everyone, and it's silly to expect it to be that way.

look at game rankings its number 1 for this gen put out in 2007 but a game thats in the top 80's put out in 08 got a 10

its not about me or you its about the people that get paid and for a site known for being hard to now give score higher then the mean ...eh it all seems odd to me

be hard or be soft but please dont flip flop

Referring to the scope of GS reviews, it seems that most 9.5 games that are encompassed in hype will now receive a 10.0. However this shouldn't upset anybody because you should of stopped using GS review scores to judge a game along time ago.

WHy are people going so freaking crazy over gamespot giving gta 4 and mgs a 10? has anyone forgotten that its a .5 increments now? its not as hard as is used to be to get a 10 all a 10 is saying is that its a 9.7 or better, and gta has always been over rated and no one complained ,and 4 was 10 times better than any of the previous games and imo was worthy of that score, people are just ridiculous saying that gamespots handing em out like candy both are worthy of that score, and if you dont think so gamespots opion > yours
