Both are hardly spot on though unless they took an average, even then it would be way off as a crap game could have a stellar soundtrack but that would make the overall score better when really the scores should reflect 75% gameplay and 25% everything else.

How anyone can actually depict a game scoring 92 and 93 is a little beyond me. Have a .5 by all means but either side of that it gets really picky as a game ALWAYS has room for improvement.

Exactly. How can you define a game in 10 points. Thats basically what it is doing. 100% scores are better. and dont just say that 9/10 is 90%, i'm talking about to the 1%!

Indeed. I thought OXM had a points scoring system anyway. I know the US OXM still does as it scored 9.7 over there.

This just makes it all the worse when they actually score games with a point ratio.

I always feel the /10 system is too imprecise.

10/10 - 100% - spot on, the complete game.

It doesn't exist. If 10/10 doesn't mean perfect then what the hell does? Please explain...

10/10 does not mean its perfect! all they are saying is its the best game of its type and probably wont be beaten on xbox.

It wouldn't be the first time their review wasn't of a final build or even any sort of build THEY had actually played.

For NHL 2004 by EA Sports they spent a paragraph explaining how this new game mode made it better than last years edition. In the end EA actually took the game mode out which IGN had reported 2 months before release.

I seriously question whether they even play it or whether they just edit articles from the net.

Anyone who says Blinx is remotely good is retarded, bloody awful game. Dare I ask if the second one is much different, bar the live play?
