This reirom has got to be a fake. How can anyone screw up such basic verb conjugation? Learning to conjugate the word "is" was probably the first thing he learned in English class.

If MP2E score is real, then does that means the MP is good and Steven Kents comments wasn't based on possible fanboyism.

Damn you and your viewing options ruined my lame jokedeadlifter said:
I'm sure someone will post them all, but here's the ones people have been ragging/lying/complaining about:
GODZILLA SAVE THE EARTH 6.0, 4.5, 5.5
FIGHT CLUB 2.5, 3.0, 2.0
Okay, kidding...here's the popcorn titles:
MGS3 9, 9.5, 10
NFSU2 8, 9, 8
GOTM TIE GTASA 10,10,10
GOTM TIE HALO2 10,10,10
METROID P2 9, 9, 10
Believe me, I don't have the time to post fake crap. I was just taking a break from server-resurrection hell and noticed that we had the new EGM in the office. If I had the time, I'd post them all, but I need to get the server serving again so our website exists again! Ah, well, these should hold you until someone posts from their sub mag tomorrow. Back to work for me...

Quick trivia note - have that many 10's ever been given out in an issue of EGM before? Yikes.
I really wish I could see what is behind the 100% OMFG appeal of GTA:SA, since it's quickly turning into another flawed GTA3 retread for me, but whatever. I'll be too drugged up on MGS, MP2 and Half Life 2 to really care.

When does the mag come out, I've been looking forward to reading a review on MP2. Halo2 review I don't really care for, Bungie did a good job of keeping everyone on the hush hush about the Campaign. I don't won't to read anymore info about multiplayer.
MGS3 should be interesting as well, I want to know about the hand to hand combat, also the boss fights. Thats what I look forward to most of all.

thanks. YOu might want to post that in a new thread because of the comments.
Okay, I just got the issue, and I have to say, Patrick's review for Mario Tennis is absolutely AWFUL. The thing reads like he ripped some lines of of a press release; it's completely mechanical. And it's not even informative. It sounds like he didn't want to play the game, didn't want to write the review, and could care less, really. The score doesn't exactly match the review, either, but that's simply because he lists a bunch of features without actually commenting on them. Terrible, terrible. Thank God I didn't pay for this.
