Mr Kasavin is at it again.

I said it in the Halo 2 thread

He's not biased, he's just a JERK.

MOD EDIT: Previous term isn't acceptable language.

HAha. The Kojima backlash is in full effect and I couldn't be happier. That's what you get for making us think MGS2 was good, you bastard! Take this 8.7 and shove it!

GameSpot seems to be getting a lot tougher on reviews lately. All of their recent reviews (HL2, Halo2, MP2, MGS3) seem to be lower then most expected.

IGN gave Black & White the highest score ever given to a PC game until Half-Life 2.

GameSpot > IGN.

Greg also reviewed MGS 2. He gave that a 9.6

Which means its back down to MGS1 range which recieved a 8.5 from then (I think it originally recieved a 8.1 but then they got bitched at and changed it to a 8.5).

It's actually a very good review, although I was of course hoping the score would be higher. If you read the whole thing, it becomes obvious that this was not scored to what fans of the game would give it, but what a regular gamer would give it, perhaps. Even if you read the conclusion it's almost spelled out there.

Metal Gear Solid has always aspired to be more than just an action adventure game. The series has pushed the envelope in terms of storytelling through the video game medium, and it's also concocted some downright postmodern plot twists that are about as thought-provoking as games get. Yet these types of things have come at the expense of pure gameplay, which sometimes takes a backseat to the story and to the high concept. All this continues to be true of Metal Gear Solid 3, which contains more than a few moments that are worth the price of admission all by themselves, and which offers a free-form gameplay experience that can be seen as either a polite formality or a sandbox in which you and your imagination can run wild. At any rate, times have changed since Metal Gear Solid's last major outing, which is why some of the game's imperfections are harder to swallow today than they were in years past. Nevertheless, this is still a great achievement, one that fans of the series will love and vividly remember long after most of 2004's other games are forgotten.

But hey - it's still better than what they gave to MGS1 (8.5!) ;)

People should read the review... it sounds like a fucking 10 if your an MGS fan.

And I agree GS has been spot on, they gave GTA:SA a 9.6. :)

Woah, what a shocker... NOT!

Kasavin is a turd. I'm glad I joined IGN Insider instead of lame Flamespot Bombplete.

It's not a great-great score, but not exactly a bad one either. After reading the review, which seems reasonable, it matches my expectations with some minor differences. It would take a LOT more to scare me away. :)

After reading that review, it's obvious this game is pure fan-service.

Bring it on.

Bring on the list of stupid scores!

They gave Ico an 8.5, which is one thing I WILL NEVER forgive them!!
(joking, of course)
