How about those rumors?
Well in comparison, Play gave Sonic 360 a 9 also.
So their reviews don't really hold any meaning whatsoever

Odysseus said:actually, it's the stupidest rumor ever on two levels
1) there are pictures of the innards of the elite that show a distinct difference versus the regular 360 (so really, where's the daggum "rumor" here?) but
2) it doesn't really matter because elites were still breaking as early as day one
jj984jj said:You got any EGM rumors?
i think these already leaked but. . .
- level 5 is going to announce 5 new rpgs at tokyo game show
- squeenix to start remaking dragon quest games starting with dq4 on ds
- microsoft is funnelling all the best 360 parts to the elite model, which is why lower models crap out more
- next def jam game will be better than icon. ea knows it sucked
- io interactive (kane and lynch) making a kids' game
- next james bond game will use call of duty 4 engine
Still good to hear. I really enjoyed the demo and i can't wait for the game to be released.Bebpo said:It is AAA.
Blue Dragon has screen-tearing, slowdown in battle, which are annoying but don't effect anything gameplay-wise and the first disc is a VERY slow ramp up (the game really doesn't take off until the final dungeon of disc1). Otherwise it's AAA through and through.
The story is good, the characters are really likeable, and the world is as good as any FF/DQ title. Great dungeons, tons of sidestuff, good battle system, etc...it's the real deal for rpg fans.

that it doesn't throw you to the dogs to learn, but brilliantly walks you through each new power step by step. in short, they say it's totally donnie trumps.
when can we expect these reviews?Strike said:I'll wait to see what GI, Ign, and Gamespot have to say about Lair b4 jumping to conclusions (like some of you here already have).
:0m0dus said:Wow, with Lair getting such average scores, I have to rethink getting a Playsta-

WHAT DO YOU KNOW. LOOKS LIKE I ALREADY BOUGHT ONE.
Guess that means I'll have to buy the game and . . . form my own opinion.
WELCOME TO THE NEW FRONTIER.
I will, however, sit back and watch as EGM achieves what no amount of goodwill ever did--unite leagues of system fanboys against a common foe . . .

and i'm presuming bioshock since it's in the wrap-up section, along with madden 2008, brave story, and boogie
We have nothing but anecdotal to go on, but I have seen a lot of people posting here and elsewhere about Elites going down. Though I shouldn't have said "same failure rate" since that's unknown. The rumor really doesn't make sense.Speevy said:Actually, they have the same defect, not the same failure rate. I don't think a significant portion of this forum owns an Elite.
SailorDaravon said:Remember on the EGM scale, 6.5 is "average." BD being rated average/slightly above average doesn't surprise me at all, but Lair is a surprise :lol . This is why publishers hate EGM.

AltogetherAndrews said:Hence why it's a corporate viral rumor. Duh.
Lobster said:Because I really can't find anything wrong with the game. Play it and maybe you'll agree with me. The games graphics are greater then the majority of Wii titles, the Waggle isn't overdone, theres a ton of stuff to do in single player and then you get online..

the chris said:Who cares what most reviewers think anyways? As long as you enjoy the game that's all that really matters(unless the game is supposed to be part of a series a games but bad reviews steer people away from the game and no sequels get made.) Not really sure what point I'm trying to make, I just wanted to be part of the discussion.

Three reviews.fernoca said:Love the meltdowns because of Blue Dragon and Lair...just because of ONE review.
beelzebozo said:good idea wario.
op updated with rumors and info for next month
Three reviews. It's not too uncommon to have a wide spread between the low and high scores for some games (the Brain Age 2 review in this issue is a good example), but there seems to be consensus among the three who reviewed those games. So they carry a little more weight than say, the Play review. (Which is not to say Play reviews carry any weight to begin with.)fernoca said:Love the meltdowns because of Blue Dragon and Lair...just because of ONE review.
Keep 'em coming guys! :lol :lol :lol
They also gave Final Fantasy Anniversary Edition a 9.0 and Etrian Odyssey a 4.0. I could go on but what's the point? EGM reviews suck, and their scale is worse.Y2Kev said:Why do people give a crap about what EGM gives RPGs?
They 4.5'd BKO...and Harry Potter/Tiamat references for the Dragona headsplode.
Though this means Persona 3 is probably mindblowing.
The reviews of Odin Sphere kind of demonstrated to me that maybe EGM's type of RPG is not mine.

it leaked already, i think.

Well, every one is "EGM 'gave' this score"....epmode said:Three reviews.
