[QUOTE="Arbiterisl33t69"]No offense but it's getting a bit old now. Cherokee_Jack

Yeah, now that everyone's got the point, I think I'm spent.

By the way, I don't know if everyone saw that the GB Quick Look is up. Probably not much new for you guys, but I found it interesting.

Yeah, it was pretty good (don't watch if you don't want to see the first mission though). I thought the guys names they were playing online against were funny though. One was diarrhea bullets and the other one was legaliz the kush.

[QUOTE="NAPK1NS"]The GameTrailers review was -- and I can't believe I'm saying this -- but pretty insensitive and negative the whole way through. It's like the critic/writer was having a bad day when he posted it; they literally manage to say something negative about every aspect of the game. Seriously, watch it. Anytime they bring up they next topic they're sure to dwell on how it didn't deliver. Let me tell you something: I'm dumped thousands of hours into this series and I can promise you this: Bungie just doesn't make games that produce that kind of ruthless criticism. Maybe I'm wrong, but after playing the game I bet I'll stick by my word. Leo-Magic

yeah sounds really like a joke.

Sounds like you haven't taken the time to read GB's review.

[QUOTE="warz0r09"]

kotaku lol i like that site gives no scores and just text. just does positives negatives i kinda wish most did that:P but kotaku pretty much praised the game probably would of been 95+ if they gave a score:P haha

Joystiq used to do that, but sadly in order to get early copies of some games, sites have to give out scores which is why Joystiq has a scoring system now.

The Kotaku review was very well written. And obviously they got early copies, so.... :P

Halo Reach is a big game. Some smaller games have publishers who don't feel the need to send out review copies to sites that don't give out scores.

If giantbomb doesn't do .5s then they may have given Reach a 90%.

They do not include .5 stars.

People mad over Giant Bomb's score need to get a grip (not you Avian005).

are Giant Bomb and Worthplaying an amatuar website?

Giant Bomb an amateur wensite????

They're like my go to place for quick-looks, reviews, and podcasts. Also, Jeff Gerstmann used to work for GS before the whole Kane and Lynch ordeal. I can't speak for worthplaying, but they probably are amateurish based off the review I read lol.

At least read the GB review before assuming anything.

[QUOTE="bphan"]

[QUOTE="Sword-Demon"]

there's your problem. you don't understand the concept of the fanboy..

try thinking of cows as people exactly like you, except they support the ps3. no matter how much logic and reasoning you think you have, you aren't going to change their opinions

Sword-Demon

This doesn't explain NPD numbers and why 360 is outselling ps3. I"m just giving reasons. In japan its different obviously. But in the US, 360 dominates. just a fact friend.

...what does that have to do with my post?

He doesn't know how to read between the lines lol.
