Two of Microsoft's exclusives (Gears and Halo) have formulas they are well beyond stale. Instead of riding them for decades they really need to get some new IP's going.

but it did capture the essence of number 2. *holds nose*

Say what you want about Ubi, but my major beef with them is that they make games with the mindset that gamers are dummies and need incessant hand-holding. I agree with Kevin saying the formula is getting old, because it is.

It's nice to see a reviewer not blinded by nostalgia goggles, but GS will definitely need to rescore once the issues with multiplayer are fixed.

With Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed tanking, maybe publishers will start taking more risks on new IPs.

(I actually kept a straight face while typing that)

The review reads a little better than the 7/10 score. Guess that's why you have to read it instead of just looking at the number.

@moorez1 I feel like 90% of gamers would agree with you. The other 10% post here.

I find 10/10 hard to believe, but still feel that it deserves it more than MGS4 did.

@battlefront1943 I was thinking 95% terrible. Doesn't look like a system seller to me, and that's what MS really needs.

Two words: Cyber Monday. I'll be at least that cheap.
