I didn't do the highlighting....

So, other people have noticed this, too? Maybe that's a step in the right direction.

That's okay. It's not like after reading that I would have read any farther.


That whole, "You can always think of a reason not award a 10" is, for lack of a better word, pretty douche'y. They're trying to give themselves carte blanche to give any big hit a 10/10, regardless of whether it lives up to the hype, and stifle any objections, because even if the objections are valid, "you can always think of a reason not to award a ten".

Of course, you can turn that around. Fanboys of obscure genres or games can now legtimately demand all their favorite games get 10's, because even if EGM can think of reasons to not give them 10's, they would have been able to think of such reasons anyway.


FacilityPro already implied this with

where he was saying how he was struggling whether or not to give it a 10. Of course, if it's such a struggle, then the choice should be clear

but if you're not 100% sure a game should get a 10, it shouldn't get a 10. There are other scores. Like 9! Or even 8!

While browsing their top 25 worst Nintendo games..

Yoshi's Story and Yoshi Touch and Go are bad, but Yoshi Topsy Turvy is much worse. The collision detection is sloppy, the gameplay is unappealing and the whole thing's over within an hour. So much for this tilt extravaganza.

Couldn't you say that the control is sloppy in Yoshi's Story, and that Yoshi's Story is over in less than an hour, too?
