Ocarina of Time
Soul Calibur

IGN
Ocarina of Time
Soul Calibur
All from IGN pocket
Checkered Flag
Dragon Warrior III
Joust
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX
The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages
The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons
Magical Tetris Challenge
Mario Golf
Metal Gear Solid
Pokemon Blue
Pokemon Gold
Pokemon Red
Pokemon Silver
Pokemon Yellow: Special Pikachu Edition
Shanghai
SNK vs. Capcom: Match of the Millennium
Sonic Pocket Adventure
Super Mario Bros. Deluxe

^Yikes.

Halo 2 was the last game I thought might grab a 10 and Wind Waker proved that Zelda isn't untouchable. And I guess IGN pocket realized they couldn't just throw around 10's at the drop of a hat. Unless something comes completely out of nowhere I don't see it happening.

GT4 would have been a candidate if the online mode had not been canned at the last minute, so I'd say the next Zelda is the last chance for a 10 this generation. At least on Xbox I don't see anything even better than 9.5 (Jade Empire or Splinter Cell 3 maybe)
 
MGS3 won't get a 10 in either GS or IGN.

It's hard to get a 10 in GS, since the overall score is an average of the individual ones. IGN could give out 9s in the seperate categories and the overall socre could still be a 10.

That said, I don't see any game getting a 10, now that Halo 2 couldn't even achieve that feat on IGNXbox. :P

MGS1 got a 9.8 in IGN, btw. I'm guessing your list isn't entirely accurate. :P

That's the one for the Gameboy.
 
The only game on either of those lists that deserved a 10 is Soul Calibur.

And yeah, that THPS3 score always was really really weird. I mean, WTF?

I agree. I don't know why or when people decided that the Dreamcast wasn't worthy anymore.
I wouldn't say it's not worthy, but it competed more with the N64 and PS1 than any of the systems out now. That's why I stick it into the "last gen" category.
 
Chibirobo.

^^^
That game will get a perfect score.

Saturn competed with the N64 and PSX. :P
 
a little part of me died when I read that review that gave Chrono Cross (lolwtfbbq) a 10 on GameSpot.

after that, I stopped caring about their reviews. :D
