That's the best of the lot really, but as you said, all down to opinion.

I agree with all the scores I can remember.

Except Luigi's Mansion, but then it was the first game to be reviewed, there was no benchmark or anything.

NGC I think give Ninty games too high scores. Don't get me wrong, Ninty make great games and I used to read NGC every issue, but their scores wre often out. Who here can honestly say that Zelda Majoras Mask was better than Goldeneye? I certainly don't think it was.

It's all down to opinion and I agree with all the score other than Luigi and Smash Bros Melee.

Zelda, Mario and Pikmin were easily worth their scores. Pikmin IMO was worth a hell of a lot more, it may have been quite short but it was gaming heaven while it lasted.

Oh and Animal Crossing is easily worth 80%, I got a good 40 hours probably more out of it which is a hell of a lot compared to a lot of games these days. While it lasted it was fecking superb.

It may be 5/6 years old but its still one of my favourite games ever!

They're good game but they're PS1 games repackaged and sold at full price.

They can hardly award them really decent scores.

That's because it's identical to the original.

Resi 2 got 60 something? That's crap! That's worse than DISNEY FOOTBALL!!!!
