Officially they are idiots!

Agreed some of them on there are over rated however I can't seriously believe some of their choices.

Your thoughts?

1. Black & White - It was OK, neither better nor worse than OK

I can't believe some people haven't played Donkey Kong Country. Jeez it was revolutionary and will always remain an all time classic.

As for Metal Gear Solid 2... Why the hell did they give it 97% if they think that? Me thinks they have completely misjudged the game if one minute they say it lives up to all the hype and the next they say its the second most over rated game of all time.

Stupid idiots, thats the last time I read anything from their website.

"Rarely does a game come along that not only exceeds all of our expectations, but our dreams as well. Rarely does a game manage to hold us in and make us forget where we really are. Rarely has anyone seen a game like this. What game are we talking about? Do you need to ask? Of course we're talking about Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty from Konami."

Their opening paragraph for the MGS2 review. Shows how quickly they review their games doesn't it...

Heheh!

This is the final paragraph as well...

"Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty is a superb game; one that finally lives up to the hype it has generated. Game of the Year on PS2? No arguments here!"

Come now, it's not LIKE the best game, it IS the best game.

I can see what they mean about it being over rated. Its always picked out as the best FF game by far but the other FFs are all outstanding in their own ways.

I think the Getaway should be near the top. Absolutely over rated. I didn't think Enter The Matrix was that good either.

When I reviewed The Getaway for SR I gave it big thumbs down 5/10. It should really have been lower, but I must have been feeling generous at the time.
I find it crazy that so many people gave it 10/10. Fools.
