Have you guys seen the reviews for all the new games coming out? Nothing seems to be getting over a 7 or 8. I was really looking forward to Kane and Lynch, but now I think I might just rent it along with Blacksite Area 51 and Assasins Creed. I think the only game I will be buying that is coming out this week will be Soldiers of Fortune, has anyone played it yet?

yea but the average score is 8.4. which isn't bad per say, but not what people wanted to hear with all the hype sourrounding it. this thread is most likely gonna get locked up due to the fact that there's already an AC stciky up.

True, although adding a sticky for a game thread and expecting no other threads to be started is idiotic on the mods part. Once the thread gets past like 8 or 10 pages everything just gets lost. I always hated that practice. Maybe they hired smarter moderators recently and it'll remain unlocked.

I feel the exact opposite. Most of the new games are getting a 9. COD4, Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect (most likely), plus many more on other consoles. Great year for gaming!

yeah, that sounds kind of fishy to me.

IGN gave it a 7.7 and 1Up gave it a 7.6.

Gamespot is a lot higher than I have seen anywhere else.

my guess is that Soldiers of Fortune will get between 6.0 and 8.0 as a far as reviews are coming out, and dont get high hopes with Mass Effect score either.

I think you mean Assassins Creed if I'm not Mistaken.

Kane and Lynch was sad, I expected better, but Army of Two does look very promising, Mass Effect is just, Yummy, COD4 is a blas to play, expecially online, and Assassins Creed seems to be getting mixed reviews but the general concensus is that it is a good game.

With all that said im happy with the way things are going.

Mass Effect; you have to get it. As for Solider of Fortune I hope its good. If it gets decent reviews I might buy it.

I'm expecting an 8.5 for Mass Effect, Gamespot just has become more critical since the new rating system and some of the combat based problems mentioned in Game Informer I think will have a much greater effect on the score here.

Army of Two will flop. It's almost a garuntee. Anyone who expected Kane & Lynch to be any good must be new to gaming. Previews usually end in "This game is shaping upto be good".

Consider this. The bigger the marketing budget, the better quality the game. Not always is this true, but a lot of times it is. Halo 3, COD4, GTA, Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed are just to name a few.

Assassin's Creed is basically a matter of opinion. After playing it for about 7 hours, it's becoming repetitive. That doesn't make it a bad game though. While repetitve, it's still fun. I think it's better than Splinter Cell and PoP combined, in which that's basically what it is.

Kane and Lynch and the lower Assassin's Creed scores on other sites came to a surprise to me. I had high hopes for both, and still do for Assassin's Creed. Hopefully I'll pick up a copy of Assassin's Creed this weekend, since I'm scheduled to get my repaired Xbox by then.

As for Mass Effect, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it got a 10, no matter how unlikely it is. After reading the review in this month's Official Xbox Magazine, Mass Effect looks like it might just be the best and most important game to come along in years.

I really have no idea what peoples problem is with Kane and lynch. I got it today along with Creed and i think its freaking sick. So much cussing and shooting and its not a fps (god i love it for that). but i mean i guess you'd have to like this style of game to enjoy it. obviously GS didnt

Odd...I've been struck lately by the unusually high number of games getting 9+ scores from GS. There's been about a half-dozen 9s and 9.5s in the last few weeks. I was starting to think GS was getting soft. Then I read the 1UP reviews for Crysis and Assassin's Creed and wondered if some of the old GS reviewers switched jobs. :)

assassin's creed is a buy, believe me. and i havent played it yet, but, i went ahead and bought kane & lynch anyway, ive been excited for it for a while, and i think the reason they gave it a low rating was because there was hardly any hype for it. lots of hype - big score not so much - medium not a lot - low

This was supposed to be like the golden few months of the year for the 360, but the only good games that have come out in the last 2 months are Orange Box, Halo 3, GH3, COD 4and Assassin's Creed. Mass Effect will be on that list. Everything else just hasnt panned out.
