Episodes is double the price of Tony in the US and in Canada it's $56 maybe they think TLAD isn't worth the extra money?

Didn't you read the review, they said The Lost and Damned wasn't as good as the other game, that can easily bring the score down with 2 games in it.

wow dude he/she stated a very valid point. They could be saying that it is better to get The Ballad of G@y Tony, and just leave The Lost and the Damned....

Pardon me? Do you think 1 game that isn't as good as another game or better is going to keep the score the same or higher?

They just averaged the two episodes out. It's a freaking 9.0, that's awesome especially for a $40 dollar game you can buy at retail stores.

How is that being a PS3 fanboy? Please, grow up.

Both Episodes were immensely great; I'm guessing they just averaged the scores of the two.

They had to review 2 games by using one score. So they reviewed both games, and gave an average for the score.

Am I missing something here? Your making no sense, grow up a little, just because he doesn't agree with the tc doesn't make him a ps3 fanboy, anyway i hope this one gets lock down, seriously this topic really serves no purpose at all.

It should at least get the same score!!!!Excedra
Not necessarily. The score is (or should be) based on the entire experience offered by the two episodes, not TBoGT alone. So, given that standad, and the numerous other reasons there might have been for giving different scores to the DLC and episode bundle, it's not very logical to believe the scores should be the same.

Well genius for one, gay tony is 20$ and Episodes is 40$ and what you get for your money with Gay Tony is far better then what you get for 40$ (Lost and the damned was kinda crap).

I enjoyed G@y Tony much more then the TLAD. Riding the freakin' bikes around got old and annoying, but hitting someone with golf balls on a caged course? Stealing a crazy war helo? (Small Spoiler) Fightin' in the underground for your mexican la madre - only to have her cuss you if you throw the fight? I enjoyed the second one MUCH more. They added dodge chargers also right? Or is that just me?

Let's put it this way. TBOGT is exactly $20. TLAD is exactly 20. If you look at the review for TBOGT, it's based off the fact that it is exactly $20, and how much it's worth that money. It's a great game and value for the price. Now, if you add on a second game, for exactly the same amount, it would have to be exactly as good as the other exansion to get exactly the same score (if you double the price, you should double the quality). However, the reviewer states that TLAD is "clearly" the weaker of the two games. Therefore, it isn't the same amount of value as TBOGT, which is exactly half of the cost of the disk. Does that mean that they didn't like TLAD? No. They did like it, and based on how much they liked TBOGT, and how much they liked TLAD, they came up with that 9.0 score. A great score, just not one that's quite worth double the money of TBOGT when the other half isn't exactly as good.
