What do you need specifically? Same as the who reviewed what, I got it here in front of me.

what did they say about phantom hourglass?
SatelliteOfLove said:
Zelda, Sonic, and Soul Nomad for me personally. Surprised Soul Nomad scored like that. Figured it was right up their alley.
WickedLaharl said:
It's true though. Every single site and magazine is worthless depending on the reviews. From day to day, week to week, month to month. Biases changes, moneyhats switchesd, reviewers are mauled. It's all very funny to me.

Not using the scale properly to keep publishers happy with Play's contribution to Gamerankings doesn't mean they enjoy games more than anybody else.

I don't know, it just seems like some people in this thread are more annoyed by the fact that SRA got a higher score than PH than the PH score itself.

10s! 10s for everyone! 10 10 10 10 10 10 10!
Phantom Hourglass? 8.
Play makes no sense.

Sorry, can't be of any help here. My games for the month were HOT PXL and Touch Detective 2.5, and Touch got bumped. *SIGH* I haven't even touched Soul yet.

Except that the person who reviewed Bioshock and the person who reviewed Sonic were different people, thus directly comparing them means nothing BLAH BLAH SAME THING WE DO EVERY TIME IN THESE THREADS.

How's Touch 2.5?
DevelopmentArrested said:
Fixes a number of the problems that people had with the original, puzzles make more sense now and are less "touch everything until something happens," and has a better variety of locations than the original did. I still wish the game was a bit more like the old-school PC adventure games in length and puzzle depth, though.

Sonofabitch... which the fck is it? What is the real name of this game?
shidoshi said:
You do realize that people are half joking, right?
However, its the fact of the matter is that you guys have many reviews that are either far above or far below the norm. You're going to be beat up for that, regardless of whether its right or not. Unless that trend stops than the "abuse" is going to continue happening and nothing you guys say or do will change that.

If it's possible could we please have more info on the Tail Concerto interview? Is a new one on the way?

maybe Zelda really is only an 8/10
can't go wrng with that Metroid score though, Right where I'd place it after getting 100%
I was thinking about Mercury Meltdown after all around great reviews, but now... :S
it's Nintendo's new marketing strategy, pay for low scores so the fans run out to prove Play wrong

I consider myself very, very lucky to have been at both ends of the Gaming Age spectrum, receiving love and adoration for my work at Xbox Nation and naked hatred as part of the Play staff.
So. To swipe liberally, thank you, lord, for thinking about me. I'm alive and doing fine.
Mefisutoferesu said:
From what I read in the new stand, they basically hint at it, but couldn't explicitly tell anything at it either.
But what I did think was interesting was what the opening post talked about....CC2 definitely is kemono/furry friendly; they explicitly admit that they have a number of them on their very team, and even ended up creating a TC-like character just for the sake of a fire department (who may end up being used again later...?).
So, what I could conclude is that we probably WILL see something akin to Tail Concerto some day, if this interview, as well as the PS3/DS concept art we've seen already are all things to take note of.
Furry, kemono or whatever be damned: I loved Tail Concerto, and I would love nothing more than either a chance to go back to that world, or at least something like it in the future.

Awesome, thanks Tre. The furry thing is kinda weird, but likewise, I don't give a snot if it gets me another TC.

@ Shidoshi: I keep confusing you with Casey Loe. I have no idea why. :lol Sorry man.

Play magazine's reviews are short and unimaginative.
Mefisutoferesu said:
Eh, different strokes, I say. Besides, you also have to take into account that the "Kemono" culture in Japan is actually quite different than what would be considered "Furry" for us in the West. In Kemono culture, there's more of a thing of just trying to create endearing characters that just happen to be furry, rather than designing various avatars to fulfill yiff-tastic RP fantasies. There's plenty of exceptions on both sides of the equation, but that, in a nutshell, is often why "kemono" is held in a different light than "(LOL) furry". Some things go back and forth between the two cultures, but there are a number of things that are just exclusive to one side of the fence, too.
But any way...I'm STILL waiting on that DS project of CC2's (which will probably be a TC project of some sort) to truly reveal itself some time soon. I was actually hoping that CC2 would have something else to show off than just this season's Naruto title from their offices. Yes, I know, that and .Hack are how they get their money...but...sigh...dang Bandai-Namco not letting be able to branch out more...
