There is something very, very wrong with these scores.

 

[PhatSaqs]

There is something very, very wrong with these scores.

That should be the subtitle for Plays review section every issue.

 

[Suikoguy]

hehe, typically I would stay outta this but after beating fable I think its B at the most

 

[Wario64]

So I guess
C = F
B = C
and A- = B

 

[enjoy bell woods]

Wow, I'm surprised Alien Hominid and Neo Contra didn't both get A+'s.

 

[LukeSmith]

Does play have to run out and buy some of the games the week they come out to make review deadlines?

 

[Hellraizah]

* Midway Arcade Treasures 2 = B
* Alien Hominid = B
* Sonic Mega Collection Plus = B-
* OutRun 2 = B

^^^^^^^^^^
The good stuff, especially Alien Hominid.

 

[Rhindle]

So I guess
C = F
B = C
and A- = B

I see only two A- in that whole list and no A's.

 

[Gazunta]

What's the lowest rank Play can give? It runs from A+ down to.... C- ? E-?

(trying to figure out where King Arthur fits in this)

 

[Mega Man's Electric Sheep]

What's the lowest rank Play can give? It runs from A+ down to.... C- ? E-?

(trying to figure out where King Arthur fits in this)

Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude = F



No anime boobs = NO SALE for Play!

(Not that I doubt the score)

 

[FortNinety]

Fight Club is better than THUG2? Now I've seen everything....

 

[Lyte Edge]

Guys, it's PLAY magazine. WHY DO YOU CARE?

Guys, it's PLAY magazine. WHY DO YOU CARE?

Very true, but what's more fun on the GAF than beating a dead horse?

 

[op_ivy]

*note i dont give a shit about reviews, just throwing stones at the bee hive

 

[MassiveAttack]

[Project Midway]

The scores:

GameCube

(None)

Why no love for Gamecube Nintendo?

 

[yodathesoda]

Good to see THUG 2 finally getting a shitty score. I was a die hard THPS player back in the day and it's about time people criticized the downward spiral this series has become.

Guys, it's PLAY magazine. WHY DO YOU CARE?

If you can't understand the sublime greatness of Dave "Is that a platform game I smell?" Halverson, no one can explain it to you.

I always laugh whenever I see a Play magazine topic.
