Ever since GTA4 got 10/10 (obviously a typo of 1.0/10), games seem to be gettin 10/10 ratings all over the place.
Co-incidently all games with said rating suck balls.
I fucking hate the game industry.

Its all shit now
Spore deserving 7 8s and 9s? Yeah right...its not even a fucking game, NO ONE who actually played it likes it. Everyone on most forums I read think its absolute drivel. Just shows you how full of shit they are.
Movie critics too, but thats another story.

More picks for pointless 10's to me at this point will be Fallout 3 and Fable 2. Meanwhile, chances are they'd give Betrayal at Krondor 7/10.
Guff.

The first fable got 8s and 9s when it was a piece of shit game missing half the features it was supposed to have. Not to mention the shallow gameplay

a) They are paid to give such reviews
b) Those reviews are made by people whose oldest game known to exist is Battlefield 2

Hi all. It's true that favorable reviews are made to bad games. I guess that "it's just about videogames" so the reviewers think why not make a little more profit? If there are so many things fucked in up in the health system from America as many say, it is possible that these reviewers could do everything to get the maximum profit, including adding 3 or 4 extra points to the review score.
But those aren't the only video game sites, they're only the most popular. There are sites like these that have honest reviews. I like reading articles from this site because they sum up everything that is important without any bullshit and they're fun and easy to read. Keep it up!

What the fuck does that have to do with anything? It makes no sense even in the context of your post

I was just saying that if people are profiting from something as important as health, some people might be profiting from something more unimportant like video games.

I think the industry was moving in a direction which favoured favorable reviews (probably by paying people more money if they had just so happened to give a good review), but then after that Kane&Lynch fiasco, the trend became the rule.
