Thats gotta be a good sign! The highest i can recently remember Gamesmaster ever giving was a 98% for GTAIV.

And its good getting reviews from a non-biast gaming magazine

Variety is letting the side down.

Variety should crawl back to its cave.

Do you even know why they gave it an 80?

According to metacritic anyway, it gave an 80.
"[*Note: All Variety scores are provided to Metacritic by Variety's Games Editor - Metacritic is not estimating here or on any other game review.] "

The reason is just beyond stupid too.


"LittleBigPlanet" has one big disadvantage compared with YouTube, however, in that just sampling the wares requires a $400 Playstation 3 and $60 game. For the vast majority who won't be creators, buying into "LittleBigPlanet" will require either a major leap of faith or strong word of mouth about all the community has to offer.
Heh.

Here's the review.

Variety should not be allowed to review video games. Here is what it had to say about dead space:

"Variety
A mix that often impresses but rarely surprises. More gory than frightening, more technically adept than substantive, "Dead Space" will find a healthy crossover aud between gamers and horror fans, but won't leave them with a single new idea to ponder besides the release date of the inevitable sequel. "

There are far more original ideas in that game than half of the games variety has reviewed favorably. The zero gravity portions and certainly the portions where you have a limited air supply are among the most tense moments I've ever spent controller in hand. Whoever wrote their reviews needs to crawl out from under their rock and learn what actually makes a brilliant video game.

I've also realised their reviews are utter trash. Definatly ignore Variety.

Ignore Variety. But pay attention to Gamesmaster! They give fair reviews, excluding GTA IV which sucks. But don't Mm deserve it?2008-11-04 17:09:00
