somebody mention gamezone reviewed the game, and I thought they were the parradigm of review scores around here
"According to an un-named source, two reputable gaming magazines/websites have reviewed Lair and have each given it 9 out of 10. EDGE magazine is one of the these sites which reviewed Lair and gave it a score of 9 out of 10.
Gamezone, the other publishing website that also reviewed Lair and gave it a score of 9 out of ten. According to the un-named source, they label the game as having a unique experience

I'm starting to think Edge & Gamezone review scores are true.

Can't wait. I put my pre-order for the US-Version down july 23th (hopefully play-asia delivers to Switzerland, my 1st import for PS3).
Playing Factor 5 games since Katakis and Turrican... I'm getting realy old!
Videos on PSN gives me a sort of Lord of the Rings feeling, just marvelous. I can imagine me playing this beast in front of the plasma, lights are dimmed, my childrens are asleep and the surround sound is tuned to the right volume. OMG.

LMAO... I saw that get started on the gametrailers site. The fanboy who started the thread (and I'm not overstating, he's truly a crazed fanboy) must be wanking himself into a frenzy.

Well, as long as YOU say it's more than fair, I don't know why anyone else would ever have a different opinion.
And I'm not sure that was the point anyway.

Spoilered to avoid derailment:
No, he was blaming Resistance's review scores on the fact that reviewers don't finish games. But you could say that about any game. Admitedly Resistance picked up a bit towards the last third of the game, and certainly started to look fantastic at Angel's Lair, but to be fair so do most games. And just because the second half of a game is good - as in HALF the game is good - should the whole review just be based on the second half of the game?
Anyone else is entitled to their opinion, just as the 50 or so reviewers were who made up the 87.5% average on GameRankings.
Anyway, back to Lair...

Do reviewers really not finish games? They used to bitch and moan about how they had to play through mediocre games 2-3 times to write a review telling no one to buy it.
Is it fair to review only the first half of the game when the 2nd half may be horrible, or vice versa. Not really, I'm not saying this is always the case but it seems to happen more and more these days. For example the Gerstmann review of twilight princess... I would have been fine with his review but he Clearly stated in his blog that he didnt even finish the game and said he was sure there was a tri-force hunt in the game, which there was not. He actually reviewed it before even getting very far, thats just ridiculous.pswii60 said:

Compare that to Jeremy Parish who spent 3 days straight playing nothing but the game and he ended up giving it a ten. The 1UP people have earned a lot of respect in my eyes. It's the only place on the web where I know the editors enough to know what they tend to like in games and makes the reviews worth reading.
Jirotrom said:
Honestly, this is just par for the course nowadays.
Developers need to make the beginning of their games the most impressive, then work on the end being most impressive, and then flesh out the middle parts :lol
I don't want to sit for hours in front of something medicore just to get to something good. I'm not saying Zelda, Resistence, or Lair are examples of this, I'm just saying in general.
And the reality is that MOST reviewers do NOT finish the game they're reviewing.

Well, that was a risky choice, but they did it. Julian (meh, can't remember his name's spelling) said that it also felt much more consistant with the game, which could be a good argument, I think (that's mentionned in the EGM's Lair review, they had a bunch of "questions" for him).
I just dl'ed EGM's september issue and read the review. Well, all I can say is that I'll certainly give the demo and try, but I'm still not completely turned off this game. I mean, EGM's testers complaints sound like it's completely personnal. We already have some people impressions saying that the game controls are alright.
Edge Rumour DEBUNKED!!! Its not in the new issue.

I think the hype train for Lair derailed sometime ago because no one seems to be really even talking about it anymore in the OFFICIAL thread.
it's still a day one purchase for me, hyphy is irrelevant
