Except that NOTHING on the PSP from Square has warranted that they make more games for it, other than a reasonably successful VP Lenneth - but nowhere near the success of Final Fantasy III, Dragon Quest Monsters Joker, Dragon Quest Heroes, or Children of Mana.

because NeoGaf is full of idiots and EGM review threads are usually a good place to find them.
"WHAT! HOW COULD THEY SCORE THAT GAME IVE YET TO PLAY SO LOW? EGM ARE SO BIAS I HATE THEM!"

So.....
Trace Vs. Hotel Dusk= 6.5/5.5/6.5 - 8.0/8.0/10
PW1 VS. PW2= 7.0/6.5/8.5 - 6.0/8.0/7.0
Just to clarify, I saw the Hotel Dusk score coming.
:lol :lol
I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!

All of these make me =GDJustin said:
Can't wait to see Sucker Punch's new PS3 game too. And it's funny to see just how hard the 1UP/EGM crew are jamming down their readers' throats the rumor that PS3 exclusive titles are going multiplatform. I wonder if they'll tell us a sixteenth time soon?!

And, evidently for some, so does a 6.5.

I think EGM should give your avatar a 10. I'd love a Swedish Chef game where he goes on a murderous rampage. I'd even pay $4.99 for it with purchase of a Value Meal.
LevelNth said:Well, considering they didn't score DC2 that much higher (I think the highest was only 8.5), I wasn't expecting them to give RG much credit, especially since this is 4 years later.
It's still going to be RPGOTY for 07 regardless, and that's all that matters.
no Blue Dragon will win that by default because nobody is going to have a long enough memory for a game that came out in January, unless it's generation defining ala Resident Evil 4
Edit: regarding LP
Sorry, but I find it a little hard to believe a demo we all played and loved is really a stinker without us knowing.
Ok, I assume the game is short, if it has the same amount of gameplay time as gears of war, it should be fine.
The controls were fine as well, if the review complains about them then maybe it's the reviewers problem. I haven't heard anyone who played the demo complain about controls, Capcom would have had to totally rework the controls for this to be a knock against the game.

Hotel Dusk is now on my radar.
It's funny how bad scores generally don't phase people that are already interested in a game, but how good to great scores can make people (like myself) gain interest in something that didn't previously appeal.
Now I have to actually find out what the game is about and how it plays!

Capcom f*cked up nothing. It's a decidedly old-school action/shooter, looks pretty, has big bosses and things blow up real good. Day one purchase.

Yeah, but VP:L was a simple port of the PS1 game. And the other was a FF/DQ themed version of Monopoly (and I think a port of the PS2 version). It's hardly fair to compare sales of those to original, high profile games.
And by your logic, Capcom shouldn't make any DS games, because nothing has sold as well on it as Monster Hunter Freedom/Portable.

EGM also was the lowest reviewer of all credible places for Dead Rising too.
Find the review out of place: Dead Rising review
I'm not even going to get into the DoA4 or COD3 review comparisons. CoD3 is the shit online, they must have only played SP, which is only half the game.
EGM the new GameSpot of 2007 for 360 reviews ? :lol

Knowing EGM, and how they operate it certainly makes me grin. With all the reports of Rogue Galaxy having an unoriginal/cliche'd story, simple battle system etc.. etc.. One would think it was a prime target for EGM's nitpicking of death, but those are good scores. I expected 6s with maybe one 7.0

The game could have gotten more polish and the controls take getting used if you're coming from Wii Sports Golf, which I think is the main problem people have with the game outside of the presentation. That being said I'd classify it as a good game. Not a GREAT game (Zelda) but a good game.
The 1UP review is up, btw. Didn't see it posted... http://www.1up.com/do/reviewPage?cId=3156254

Well, one good thing may come of this--
Perhaps people will quit putting down Resistance based on its sub-9 review average.

It's shallow as hell, I unlocked the 9games in one sitting and haven't put it back in my Wii since. I know it's 2nd biggest selling Wii 'game' in Japan but I still seriously feel that it's only because people want an extra controller and it's hard to say no to the added value of 9 games for $10. That and the fact that Nintendo seem to have bundled 90% of Wiimotes with WiiPlay (in Australia at least, so I'm making assumptions about the rest of the world), so it's difficult not to buy it.
People shouldn't have any expectations of WiiPlay, it's an amusing diversion for 30mins and decent value, but the low scores are spot on.

Sorry, DQIX already claimed that. But hey, it's still Level 5, you win either way.
Would someone be kind enough to either repost or show me where I could find the EGM rumours from Feb 2007 issue?
Had a look around with the search bar but couldn't find the FEB issue, just the Jan 2007 one. But I did find this....
From the SEPT 2006 issue apparently....
.....and now this month's it's....
Oh EGM, how you toy with us so.....
Thanks in advance

FF and DQ are obviously more popular than VP. CoM is arguable, I guess, but that still doesn't disprove the rumor.A Link to the Snitch said:
dillenger said:
I'm not sure what the joke is, but DQVIII was RPGOTY in 2004, DQVII pretty much was in 2001, and DQIX will be in 2007. That's how it works with new DQ releases. But hey, like I said, Level 5 fans get to rejoice either way!
Rogue Galaxy probably will be right up there in the running for PS2 RPGOTY, though Persona 3 will give it quite a bit of competition.

Wii Play is basically a training app to get new players accustomed to using the Wii controllers, not a standalone minigame collection like WarioWare or even a compilation like Wii Sports. There's some depth to a few of the games - Billiards and Laser Hockey most notably - and there's quite a challenge to obtaining all Platinum medals, but it doesn't hold up as a full game.
If you try and crack the Platinums, or if you have other players round regularly, you'll likely get a fair amount of enjoyment out of it, but don't look at it expecting anything more than a little bonus on top of your Wiimote purchase & you won't be disappointed.

Why would you expect that to happen? Also, that's the second time you've brought up a PS3 game in a Lost Planet review discussion. It's not going to change the impulses of people who only judge games on the numerical score they've received, no matter what console they're released on. It didn't happen with Chromehounds, why would it happen for any other game?
So a PSP game is GOTM??
Yay for MGSO and Hotel Dusk. But WTF at Lost Planet, Wii Play, and Phoenix Wright 2.
Actually dillinger, the RG review numbers from EGM are really good (not that I like the mag one bit) because Shadow Hearts Covenant, Tales of Symphonia, Tales of the Abyss, Baten Kaitos Origins, and even our Xenosaga 3 scored the same or lower (BK0) Which means if we loved the mentioned RPGs wed probably love RG. Wait for other scores like Gamespots, IGNs, and Gamespy.
I would agree that it would be the best selling RPG or even game in Japan in 2006. But the best RPG, i dont know, just because its DQ doesnt mean it will be. Hey, were still not halfway through the first month of the year. Maybe DQIX wont even be in the top 5.
Yay for MGS

Pretty much. Like you said, it's for new players. There's no way I would have bought this game if didn't come with the extra controller. It really should have been combined with Wii Sports and included as a pack-in game with every Wii in every territory.

This round of EGM information gets 4.0, 3.5, 6.0.
