[QUOTE="CarnageHeart"]I happened to greatly enjoy the two games that have gotten 10s from reviewers this year, but reviews are an art, not a science, so I pay little attention to numerical scores and a lot of attention to reviewers' takes on a game's strengths and weaknesses.SteelAttack
This is something that can't be stressed enough. I respect anyone giving any amount of weight into reviews, whatever their source might be, but it puzzles me to watch people focusing only in the score, and never looking past the numerical value and into the review itself.
I know. They should only tell you a games numerical rating at the end of a review. That's what I loved about Greg Kasavin, and Jeff Gertzman: they didn't have general numbers like 9.5 or 9 they had 9.1 9.2 8.7 9.4 9.7 , and their reviews were between 8 and 12 minutes. They gave a very detailed review, and an even more detailed score. Now they just say stuff for MOST games (not GTA IV or MGS4), and what they say doesn't give a clear picture about the game.
