Looks like 8 is their new average score to give out :)

I'd be interested to read the Saint's Row 2 review, since I'm sure it will be just a comparison to GTAIV.

I wonder what has changed with Fahrenheit - it is the original xbox version which they gave 89% back in 2005

And there I was thinking the Pro Evo - FIFA debate would be decided for me.

PURE is an awesome game! I like how you can build your own ATVs.

o.k pretty much it says that it's really funny, there is a lot to do and it is a big improvement on the first one. the bad things are the multiplayer is not that good and there are still some glitches but overall it's a good game that they put as a must buy. to me, just by the screenshots it does look like a fun games that obviously has some hilarious jokes etc. as they mention in the review.

I stopped reading too much into Official magazine reviews a while ago, I think 8.5 for the Matrix on xbox was the last straw

I only listen to EDGE Magazine and GamesTM, and the IGN and Gamespot for online reviews

That's that the XBO means, XBOX Originals. The ones you can get off marketplace.

I thought the shooting was pretty sub par, maybe this is why.
