Gameinformer review scores

Red Dead Revolver: 9.75
Lost Planet 2: 8.5
Split Second: 8.25
Skate 3: 8.75
Iron Man 2: 6
Alan Wake: 8.5
ModNation Racers: 8.5
Super Mario Galaxy 2: 9.25
Monster Hunter Tri: 7
Trauma Team: 8

Wow! Is Red Dead really that good? I want to wait for more reviews on it first though. That whole incident where Rockstar was threatening reviewers to give it a high score still doesn't sit right with me.

I'm also hearing that the 360 version is better, which is ironic since Rockstar complained about the lack of disc space!

Also, I'm glad to see Spit Second getting a good score. I usually never buy racing games at full price but I may bite this time. The demo was pretty cool!

Not really my kind of game, but who's interested? I waited so long to get Ikaruga on cube that in the end I forgot to get it at all.

Definitely interested here! Day one for me! Love Treasure shooters and this one looks fantastic!

I think it would be very wise for both Nintendo and Sony to start taking Apple seriously on the handheld front, Microsoft too if they ever decide to jump into that area of gaming. Apple has steadily been gaining foothold in this aspect without ever having to specifically target it with a "gaming focused" system.

I can never take Apple seriously because those games on their iPhone/Pod are mostly just little hors d'oeuvres compared to the main meals on the DS/PSP. You can eat a ton of hors d'oervres and get full, but it's never satisfying as a full good meal.

As mobile games, sure they're great, but they're still far behind some of the best games on the DS/PSP, which is why I think it's a joke whenever those Apple guys claim that they're a viable gaming platform in the handheld realm.

I can make a Mario game in LBP. So

In all seriousness hopefully the fix the floaty jumping. Well what does it matter, it doesn't need to be a platformer anymore.

Played more Cel-Shaded Prince last night Turned off the tutorials. Game is still

Played more Arkham Asylum last night. Makes GTA 3rd person controls seem like a bad joke. Broke out onto the surface of the island, got some spray explosives. Had some fun.

Game is so seamlessly made and yet the individual elements are worse than how they are executed in games which focus on a single aspect.

It's strange because it's a game with almost zero flaws and yet somehow it doesn't excel enough for me to feel that it's one of the greats.

It's one of the worst parts of this generation.  Games that show great craft but have no sense of mastery.  Like they are made by very talented apprentices, but there is no master to show them how to turn all the well made components into something finished.

NO.

What's up with all these Lost gifs!

But it looks like you have no problems with me claiming that SMG2 >>> LBP2, right?

New Xenoblade pics are awesome. Check the thread.

That looks like it belongs in a Mana game.

That was my first reaction.  My second reaction was, "The Japanese are never going to get away from Hiroshima in their art huh?"
