I just see Gamerankings for the last hermi'ts games and looks like everybody gave lower score then gamespot.

Even IGN:

Stalker - 8.2 (GS - 8.5)

C&C 3 - 8.5 (GS - 9.0)

?

Now that Greg Kasavin has left everyone has been released from his iron grip and can now print whatever they want and score however they like.

Do you seriously believe that every single review site will have the exact same score as another site? Stalker's scores are quite close, and C&C3 is not that far apart either. Reviews are just the reviewer's opinion. I might love Big Rigs: Over the Road racing, but GS gave it a 1.0...

Reviewers might have different opinions ... why do you think no community-review is the same on Gamespot ...

exactly for instance there were massive mixed reviews for perfect dark zero - GS gave it 9.0 i think whilst i read other reviews they'd be giving it the equivalent of 5/6/7!

 But look at console games:

 VF 5 - 8.1

 Crackdown - 7.8

 WTF? They both obviously deserve more

Just read the text of the reviews instead of the score and the reviews are fine. ( though I do think the scores are a bit out of whack but as I said I only consider the text when buying a game)

Its more annoying how GS bring scores down based on system requirements.

Supreme Commander imo does more for the RTS genre than C&C3, yet supreme commander scored lower becuase it was marked down because of system requirements.

I always just read the good and bad. I rarely consider the score when buying games.

Never go by Gamespot alone... check your local IGN, Gamespy, etc. Word of mouth can be good, too.

Didn't help VF5, Motorstorm, or Crackdown now did it?

You could also try the demo for C&C. And what is wrong with STALKER receiving a 8.5? Do you own this game, if not I fail to see why you assume that it deserves lower.

 That's where GS usually flops A LOT. At least score say something more or less real
