Forget you. Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow on PSP was an excellent game. Got good reviews too. I'm hoping for a PS3 game announced at E3.

To be fair Level is the most credible videogame centric magazine you'll find over here (since our beloved and unprecedented PC Gamer went to shit :'( ) and I'd take that over some exclusive mag any day.Mechar said:

True. The reviewer went to the very same event as Shane went to representing 1UP and EGM . But at the same time, if he has written his review based on what he played back in Japan, how come then Shane or maybe Jeff Haynes hasn´t? Sure, exclusive deals perhaps, but at the same time, I recall Shane saying that this wasn´t the final version, but one beeing near completed. And from what I´ve heard, different onlinepublications have been recieving the final build as early as last week.Euphor!a said:
So thats three 10s for MGS4 so far if I'm not mistaken 
. My hype is somehow still managing to increase.
Also, I need to know how careful I need to be on the interwebs....for someone who has seen that spoiler in the other thread, can you say how serious it is on a scale of 1 to 5?

Shane technically didn't review it, but his tone on 1up Yours when he was talking about MGS4 made it clear he would give the game an A+ if he was allowed to review it. He said that even if they didn't fix the one problem the game had(difficulty balancing issues at one part of the game), it wouldn't have affected his score.Mechar said:

I know it shouldn't affect the game (it doesn't for me) but there are sizable number of people out there who let these reviews shape their expectations and when/if they don't match up they come away disappointed. It shouldn't be too hard to imagine, someone reading this review and imagining the action game to end all action games only the have the final product come up short (or at the very least different).

Can I have a link to the 1up yours where he talks about it please?

It was bad enough that people started freaking out when they clicked it. I've completely bailed out of the thread as a result. I don't know what the picture is and I don't want to know what it is.

It's a picture you've seen already and has been discussed about in a past MGS4 thread. I'll give you a hint without even spoiling it. It was a blurry picture taken from some group in europe that played the game.

Yeah, apparently someone posted a picture taken from the European playthrough though that's of a massive spoiler.
If anyone listendet to tha latest episode of Podcast Beyond and when they were doing the weekly Reader Mail (mail call, mail/female, aaaaaah!) Jeff got a question asking if there was a bossfight in the game wich had the same level of awesomeness like the fight with The End had. His response was "Dear, sweet zombiejesus yes!".

Yeah. All people are doing in the other thread is just rehashing old spoilers.
Well iv been around for quite some time following mostly of the LEVEL crew since 10+ years back, so i kinda trust their opinions much. In this case with MGS4 and with Per:s review i get the same wibes as i have gotten from Shane when i have listen to all the podcasts when he talks about MGS4 etc (yeah they where both on the same "boot camp" @ Konami) , meaning i really really think this game will be truly awesome.
I might get flamed for saying/thinking this but i dont think MGS4 will score as high as GTA4 has done , and that is simply beacuse i feel the MGS franchise always seem to have been this awesome franchise that critics "like" to try "find things" that they can be negative about and hence therefore drop their final score a bit. I can already see some sites mags go on like "MGS4 does EVERYTHING right but in the end there is still to much cutscenes and dialogues , 9/10"
"Some" franchises these days seems to automatically "starts" higher on the point board than others.. ^^ , just my two cents.
