No games. July and August are very poor shows.

A light Gun.
Speed kings. (big price drop, no surprise there)
Crimson skies (The one good thing on the horizon -pun intended)

Yeah, and you sing it's praises like it's the best damn game ever in all the topics. As long as you do that, I'll keep telling people to check it out properly and thus, giving them a balanced view of the game. £40 is a lot of money; would you like to see somebody waste it?

Just shows you how inaccurate these things can be, eh?

It's rare for every single magazine/reviewer to find a game brilliant...i mean grand theft auto 3 only got 6/10 in edge...but most places gave it a 9+ mark
or looking it from the other view...enter the matrix got some high mark in oxm but mediocre scores from nearly everywhere else...and yes it was a very mediocre game!
there are some anomalies though such as star fox adventures in my opinion which got really high marks all round but i thought it was a t*rd game...
basically if the big majority of reviewers give it a good mark i'm more inclined to follow them...
i personally only start to doubt the quality of a game when some give it a good reviews and others give it bad ones...like amped (although i ended up enjoying it)

Yea, but it seams you just trying to put people off for the sake of it. Every game has flaws, so what's you point? Myself and Hedfix own, have played and enjoy the game, yet you say "don't be caught up in this Brute Force praise" suggesting our opinions arn't valid or good enough, yet you armed with your beloved bible GamesTM, who hasn't even played the game, is in a better position to comment.

We say its well worth a look.

Just thought I would point out that I didn't calculate the average. Go and check Gamerankings.com and see their average from media and players reviews. Quite high considering some games which are supposedly 'top of the genre' don't get quite the same review averages.

You don't read magazines; a much more viable source than your generic 'GaMeZ4EvA.com' site. And you obviously haven't calculated a reliable average.

Forget it, alright? I'm just trying to put some balance into this.

No not at all considering that it was compiled from 46 media reviews.

Oh and whose arguments are hollow? Let me just remind you that the only evidence you seem to use is GamesTM.

Then your argument is hollow.

I don't read magazines to start off with and if I did I wouldn't use a calculator to work out the average.

How d'you manage to work out that 'Average Review' then?

Oh, and GamesTM - 4/10. There you go.
