Second of all, your friend does realize that's out of 10 right?

I like how the reports on him getting canned talk about how the reason he was given was because of his "tone." So why wasn't his "tone" a problem for his past gazillion reviews? Hmmmm...hmmm...hmmm...

Again, he was being a jerk and he is no longer my friend. Plus, The Wii version was given an 8.8

Still, it's not a bad score out of 10, so I don't really understand why he was so pissed off.

Oops! My mistake then. Thanks for the correction.

Still, like you said I feel 8.8 is a good score.
I think so many people are jaded to this whole "Games must have a 9.0+ score to be considered any good," and that's just whack.

Hmm... "Very good vagina of cousin?" I can only imagine...

That's true. Gamespot's review format is/was the standard others should try to emulate.

What people don't seem to realize is that there's a whole set of other numbers below an 8, and the last time I checked, anything between a 6 and a 7 could be considered average, with anything above that considered good to excellent. I mean, a person has to be a complete and utter ASS to complain about the difference between an 8.8-8.9 and a 9. Seriously.

Aside from all that, meaningless scores aren't what this is about. At all. So if anyone else is going to bring up that worthless bullsh*t, just get the f*ck out.

What has the the TP review got to do with anything? For the record, it was one of Gerstmann's best reviews, end of story.

You're the one gettin' all bothered over it, cheif. We can talk about whatever we want here, you're not the only one.

The point is, the Zelda review is completely irrelevant for this topic.

*Dr. Doom* · 12-02-2007, 03:12 AM

I dunno if I'd agree with that entirely. It was a review by Gerstmann, after all. I'm done with it, either way.
