Do they not know the difference between a good game a not-so-good game? ive seen this over and over again, and im sure you all have too, but GS reviews are rediculous. it happens way too often that GS gives a great game a 7.5 and a horrible game a freakin 10! im getting so sick and tired of seeing these amazing games getting put into the hall of shame by GS.

For example, Star Wars: FU got a 7.5 on the 360. i actually dont even know how this game was reviewed when its not even out but thats not the point. the point is that SOOO many people have played the demo and just about eveyone i know of thinks its bad @$$ and cant wait to get. if not that, then they said it was alright. when GS gives this game a 7.5 because it has some minor flaws like not having 100% force power accuracy and some minor glitches. NOT WORTHY OF ANYTHING LESS THAN AN 8. in my opinion ofcourse.

anyways, its out tomorrow!!! my countdown has come to an end.

its Monday... work sucks... and 3 cups of coffee really gets you going as ive found out this morning

Well i am still bewildered by the 10/10 review for GTA4, but i only see reviews as a guideline, its one persons opinion and is not the almighty gaming god telling you that you will like this or hate it because he said so, its just an opnion... and no 2 people are ever the same so take them with a pinch of salt.

....take the reviews as just one guys/girls opinion, and nothing more. The only way to know how you feel about a game is to play it yourself.

TFU wasn't all perfect, I've read many reviews for example the official nintendo magazine, that has also given it a low score. Reviews are many point of views.

*MY opinion.. just mine... no need to make a big deal about it nor get to any negative conclusions... seriously... please...* (that's what you should've written aswell lol you are lucky you have understanding friends... everytime I say something like this I get jumped on)....

So here it is... my opinion...

I didn't think that the targetting system was a just a minor flaw, it is horrible, one of the top 3 worst I ever had in all my games. In my opinion GS doesn't give the perfect scores and no game deserves a 10. Still I think MGS4 is the best game ever so it would deserve somewhere along the lines of 9.5. Still the fact that Star Wars got 2.5 reduced is cause of it's terrible targetting, the fact that it is only 8hours long and GS mentioned something about the gameplay becoming dull I think. Heavenly Sword has the best graphics out there and the gameplay is great too even the story but it got an 8.0 just for being about 8hours long... and it had perfect usage of the sixaxis. The HS incident is very similar to Uncharted's, the length is always an important part of reviewing.

I'm just saying that these people have played this game and you and I only tried the demo and even though I think that if I tried the whole game I'd give it about a 7.0, even if this game deserved more, it wouldn't have been GS's worst reviewing either

I hope that my really long opinion is taken in kindly and not negatively

Actually, I'm not surprised it got a 7.5. I thought the demo to be very average and have read lots of users in the SW:TF threads saying that its an okay game.

@sparda- yeah, i guess the point that they have played the whole game and ive only played the demo says alot. @tigerboy- yeah, i guess its only up to me. but the real point of this blog was just to restate that GS reviewers are retarted... in my opinion. lol

@dth-dlr- yeah, your right... its best to just use my own opinion when it comes to games.

@everyone- the reason for this blog was to rag on GS reviewers, lol. and the reason i got mad at them was becuase i love star wars... and i seem to get really pumped about these games so i was a little stricken when a 7.5 was given.
