Star Wars: Force Unleashed 7/10 - The sort of score I was expecting.

Not a bad score for Star Wars considering what previous SW games have scored, but Braid getting a 9 has got me interested in the game now, so I'm going to have to check it out.

That Too Human score is pretty grim and a little less than I was expecting.

Good to see GOW2 and Braid getting some good scores, even if I haven't actually got round to playing Braid properly yet :oops:

My sub arrived this morning (note - I know i'm not mike). Nothing really note worth in features with a quick glance, there is a huge GOW 2 feature (also cover) mind. No new screens from what I could see

Too Human score is too low. I'd give it a 6 or 7 personally.

7 definitely. Siren and Tengoku deserve 8 in my opinion.

Dissapointed in the Star Wars score.

Too Human has once again proved that heavily delayed games are always gooseberry fool.

I'm going to have to read the Too Human review, yes it has some glaring flaws but it hasn't stopped my enjoyment of the game.

I'd say that's about fair, to be honest. Siren's worth an 8, but the other marks are pretty reasonable.

Why are people disappointed if a game scores a 7? thats still a good score to get, would marking it up one more point to an 8 really make all that much difference? still well above average.

Nice to see a respectable score for GH:OT, I can't see where all the hate has come from as it is a great hand held replica of the guitar hero experiance.

Depends how you look at it. Considering the amount of time thats been put into it I'd say the score is about right. Too Human is not only medicore on the Xbox 360 today, it would of been mediocre some 10 years ago.
