Well, sadly GameSpot's reviews are not trustworthy for me anymore. My primary source is IGN since last year, see User Score and Metacritic scores for this game and the Last of Us and notice that GameSpot's scores seems afar from the common sense. Of course a review is the opinion of a critic, but the scores are not coherent. We probably can't prove anything but I can imagine that publishers' money is the reason behind this.
