Yeah, EGM scores stopped being worth jack **** a long, long time ago, they're more Sony-biased than you.

 

[Zenien]

Shame they didn't return the numbers you wanted isn't it.

Okami and Valkery Profile 2 carry home the Gold and Silver (console) awards respectively. Dirge is apparently slightly better then the Japanese version, not saying much. Disgaea 2 looks like it will fit the bill for fans of the genre...

Dead Rising gets decent scores, definately a good 'marked down' purchase. Prey is all over the place. Ninety Nine Nights gets exactly what it deserves, and Spawn- I mean Bomberman Act Zero fails to impress.

No one cares about the Mutliplatform titles...

Deep Labyrinth.. huh?

Ultimate Ghosts 'N Goblins is obviously too hardcore for its own good when it comes to reviewers who like to blast through the games as quickly as possible to review them, or maybe GnG isn't 'that good'?

Tekken DR nabs decent scores, I bet the PSP D-Pad cost it points.

Okami - 9.0, 9.5, 9.0 Gold Award, GOTM

THANK GOD! I really didnt want this game to suck.

 

[Zenien]

It's only going to sell like 5 copies, regardless.

 

[Manny Calavera]

No Zenien, those reviews are worthless. You know when you go to yahoo or something and you see zero star reviews for games that aren't even out yet? Those are, usually, more valid than an EGM review.

 

[Zenien]

I have a hard time believing that. :|

 

[Manny Calavera]

You really shouldn't. This has been covered, like, in 2003, or earlier, it's pretty much widely known that Ziff Davis and Sony have finanical interests in one another, and if you read EGM, it really, really shows. Showing those N3 numbers (the real reason you posted this thread) to try to show people who know better that it's "bad" would be like me posting a WHF-written review of Killzone 2, published in OXM. This battle of the great video game war has already been fought and won by the Xbots zenien

True. Oh well, I wiil have one of those 5 in my hands as soon as I can.

I posted these to get a reaction, not to say, "Game is bad", any sane person would know N3 is an 'average' game.

 

[Manny Calavera]

Any sane person would actually PLAY it before saying it's "average", as the only games that can be judged before playing are ****ty Naughty Dog, Kojima, and Guerilla games. Those who have played it, usually, have good things to say Zenien. It's a good game. Just do me the good of admitting the truth, please, it's a good game

 

[Topdawg]

tekken: dark resurrection is great

 

[Horrorfan]

More sony biased than zenien? Come on man, that HAS to be an exaggeration.

 

[XwolverineX]

I need to buy Valkyrie Profile Lenneth, and then nab the sequel.

 

[블라스]

Yeah....IMO any mag that gives similar scores to both Prey and Dead Rising is just....eh, you know where I'm going with this.

 

[SouLeSS]

Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII - 5.0, 5.0, 4.0

Ouch.

 

[Topdawg]

dead rising demo got boring quickly.

 

[Zenien]

.erg

 

[Zenien]

I know Ziff Davis and Sony has some financial ties (as does Ziff with Microsoft, I guess people don't like to bring that up) but playing the "Any magazin that gives the an Xbox game scores that I don't agree with must be getting paid off" theory, falls apart when you realize the people reviewing this stuff aren't drones, and if you want an example of how they aren't listen to 1UP Yours one in a while, there's one Sony guy who loves Nintendo, and one guy who hates anything that isn't Microsoft.

And if you were listening around E3, no one was happy about the PS3, not even Luke. Then there was Garnett getting all his Blue Ray/PS3 facts wrong in ways that shaped them in the worst possible light for Sony.

 

[WhatsHisFace]

DRT is trying to have sex with Zenien. It's so obvious and pathetic.

 

[Zenien]

They talk more about Dead Rising in the 1UP Show, why it got the scores it did, and why it's "The greatest ****ty game you'll ever play".

 

[블라스]

Just to make sure, I'm just saying that Prey sucks and no way it comes close to Dead Rising, and both are 360 games.

That's why I hate EGM, this is nothing against Sony, ok?

 

[Axid]

Hey, guess who hasn't go G-Mod working yet? You, woman

 

[Zenien]

me.

That's why I hate EGM, this is nothing against Sony, ok? :confused;

Anyway, they Gave DR an overall better score then Prey, Gammy. It's not like they said DR was bad. In fact going by their comments on from 1UP Show, at least two of the guys really enjoyed it.

 

[WhatsHisFace]

dead rising demo got boring quickly.

Yeah, not playing it because you don't have a 360 gets really old, really fast.
