Shadow of the Colossus. 9.0/8.5/9.0 - very nice.

Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow. 9.5/9.0/8.5 - GOTM?


Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga 2. 8.5/8.0/8.0
We love Katamari. 8.5/8.0/8.0

These two titles started blurring together when reading it (them having the same scores didn't help) - and now I'm imagining a Shin Megami Tensei / Katamari Damacy crossover. -_____-

[Wario64]

Rumors?


where the hell is my digital issue

 

[Matlock]

Trauma Center: Under the Knife. 7.5/8.0/6.0
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney 7.0/6.5/8.5

! Weird spread on these two.

 

[newsguy]

NBA Live 06. 7.0/8.0/7.0
NBA 2K6. 8.5/8.5/8.5

At least EGM knows their stuff.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Burnout Legends 8.5/9.0/9.0

I'm sorry, but after playing this for as long as I could, I can't agree with this sort of score. The loading while playing crash mode was unbearable. The racing is good, but it's not 9.0 good.

 

[pj]

Far Cry Instincts. 8.0/6.5/6.5
Kingdom Under Fire: Heroes 5.0/6.5/5.0

The fuck?

 

[IJoel]

Oh wait.. Dawn of Sorrows is the DS game?

Curses! I thought it was the upcoming console version.

Good for the DS, though.

 

[explodet]

nope, Indigo prophecy is GOTM

What was its score?

 

[Az987]

nope, Indigo prophecy is GOTM

You didnt post the scores for Indigo Prophecy.

 

[belgurdo]

The fuck?

It's EGM

 

[Prine]

Burnout Legends is not a great game. 7/10 in my book

 

[Calidor]

You didnt post the scores for Indigo Prophecy.

yeah sorry i missed it:

8.5/9.0/8.5

 

[Drinky Crow]

WHERE IS SOUL CALIBUR 3??

 

[Matlock]

Indigo Prophecy. 8.5/9.0/8.5
Shadow of the Colossus. 9.0/8.5/9.0
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow. 9.5/9.0/8.5

Wait, what, two games scored higher and didn't get GOTM?

I'm suspecting fake.

 

[Wario64]

yeah sorry i missed it:

8.5/9.0/8.5

wtf, that makes no sense. shadow of the colossus got better scores


EGM CANT ADD AND DIVIDE TOTAL

 

[bitwise]

so does anyone whose played far cry instincts agree with those two 6.5's?

 

[littlewig]

Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow. 9.5/9.0/8.5
Indigo Prophecy 8.5/9.0/8.5 GOTM

How? EGM gets the moneyhat!

 

[DMczaf]

Calidor, can you post some quotes from the Madden 360 article?

 

[siege]

nope, Indigo prophecy is GOTM

You're kidding me? The game was ok, but defintely not good overall.

 

[Calidor]

wtf, i suck, Castlevania is GOTM i readed it too fast :lol

 

[Drinky Crow]

WHERE IS THE SOUL CALIBUR 3 SCORES???

 

[junkwaffle]

Trauma Center: Under the Knife. 7.5/8.0/6.0
Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects. 4.5/4.0/7.5
The Suffering: Ties That Bind. 7.5/5.0/6.0
Virtua Tennis: World Tour. 6.0/8.0/8.0
Madden NFL 06. 7.0/7.0/9.0
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney 7.0/6.5/8.5

Interesting disparity of scores. Refreshing.

 

[Wario64]

You're kidding me? The game was ok, but defintely not good overall.

the only thing that makes it stand out is that it's an adventure game, and not many adventure games get released these days. average total.

 

[rod furlong]

who the hell says Indigo Prophecy is gotm? Because you're wrong.

 

[Tony HoTT]

WHERE IS THE SOUL CALIBUR 3 SCORES???

!!!!!


Edit:

Popolocrois. 5.0/5.5/6.5

AWWW FUCK!

 

[Wario64]

who the hell says Indigo Prophecy is gotm? Because you're wrong.

obviously people who can't do simple addition and division. oh wait, that's EGM huahuahua

 

[Sinatar]

Kingdom Under Fire: Heroes 5.0/6.5/5.0

All it takes is bullshit like that to remind why I never read this trash. Christ I remember when they gave Deathrow a 3.0 and the review was like 3 sentences long.

 

[explodet]

wtf, i suck, Castlevania is GOTM i readed it too fast :lol

haw haw

There've been two DS GOTM in a row. (could have been 3, but Advance Wars was beaten by Madden)

 

[snatches]

WHERE IS THE SOUL CALIBUR 3 SCORES???

Seriously Drinky, reviewable code didn't get out in time for publication. Enough already.

 

[Ghengis Cohen]

Indigo Prophecy. 8.5/9.0/8.5
Shadow of the Colossus. 9.0/8.5/9.0
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow. 9.5/9.0/8.5

Wait, what, two games scored higher and didn't get GOTM?

I'm suspecting fake.

Add the scores up. Dawn of sorrow is highest.

EDIT: NM

 

[DCharlie]

"Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney 7.0/6.5/8.5"

well, to be fair the game has limited replay value, and it is fairly simplistic in what you have to do, there is also the element that if you are stuck you can sometimes guess your way through so the game may have benefitted from having a harder mode where you can't make a single mistake (you can make five).

Only the new case added to the DS is substantially more complicated than the first 4 cases (the writting seems to take a bit of a hit, like all the humour packs its bags and leaves...)

But... for that one play through, it really is awesome stuff.

"Popolocrois. 5.0/5.5/6.5
AWWW FUCK!"

scores are STILL too high

 

[BorkBork]

Trauma Center: Under the Knife. 7.5/8.0/6.0
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney 7.0/6.5/8.5

Wonder if the same guy gave the 6 and 6.5 scores for the two games.

 

[Wario64]

ok less bitching about scores

post rumors...now

 

[Matlock]

Add the scores up. Dawn of sorrow is highest.

Read before my post where Inidgo Prophecy was called GOTM.

 

[ram]

nope, Indigo prophecy is GOTM

no just no - its not even a really good game. hell, even the interactive movies back from the mid nineties were better.

PS:

where are the rumors???

 

[Kiriku]

Popolocrois. 5.0/5.5/6.5

AWWW FUCK!

Yeah, what a disappointment.
Not that I expected it to be GOTM or anything, around 7-7.5 would've been good enough for me. These scores are disheartening.

 

[Memles]

Those scores for Pheonix Wright sound good enough for me assuming the complaints are able replay value, I'll probably see if I can find a Used Copy to pick up later this year (I have a coupon).

 

[Prince of Space]

:lol :lol @ IP scores. That "game" deserves no higher than a 6.5/7.0 rating. It's shallow even for an adventure game. And while the story is mostly pretty damn good, it just plummets straight to hell in the last act and leaves a sour taste in most anyone's mouth.

Seriously, if IP can get scores this high, killer7 deserves 8/9's as well. It had a story that was just as good -- if not better -- and it was more of a game.

 

[snatches]

ok less bitching about scores

post rumors...now

ya i mean seriously you guys...seriously
all right, screw you guys, I'm going home..../cartman wants rumors

 

[MrAngryFace]

This is from the EGM November issue? How fucked up are they on releases? Revenge came out in SEPTEMBER!

WTF I dare say. They need to reel their shit in before their publication date leaves us in the dust and their coverage is welcomed to last week.

 

[Zeo]

Trauma Center: Under the Knife. 7.5/8.0/6.0
Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects. 4.5/4.0/7.5
Battalion Wars. 6.0/6.5/7.0
Virtua Tennis: World Tour. 6.0/8.0/8.0
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney 7.0/6.5/8.5

Battalion Wars is so not a 6.0/6.5 game. Come on.

I wanna know who gave the 6.0 for Trauma, the 7.5 for Nemesis, the 6.0 for Virtua Tennis, and the 6.5 for Phoenix Wright. Because they suck.

 

[GhaleonEB]

NBA Live 06. 7.0/8.0/7.0
NBA 2K6. 8.5/8.5/8.5

Justice, accross the board.

It doesn't matter which ones gave those scores. Very few of their scores are accurate and the ones that are probably got that way by accident or typo. I don't think there has ever been a magazine with this many scores I disagree with in a single month.
