I've got some more score for you to add to your list, dude.

RESET, also a swedish magazine gave the games these scores:

GAME: - 1st Opinion - 2nd Opinion (if any)

PGR3: 10 - 9
Kameo: Elements of Power: 8 - 5
Perfect Dark Zero: 7 -
Condemned: Criminal origins: 8 -

EDIT: Oh, they're in a 1-10 scale.

 

[Wunderchu]

newest reviews added. Sorted by average score out of 100. Some games only have 1 or 2 reviews so far, so it's hard to gauge quality, but the list will flesh itself out hopefully by next week.

looking nice

Perfect Dark Zero: 7

added Condemned (IGN), Madden (Next Level), and a few others.

 

[Particle Physicist]

wow.. looks like Call of Duty 2 might be the game of the launch. didnt expect that at all.

 

[u_neek]

Games Master (UK):

PGR3> 94%
COD2> 92%

 

[open_mouth_]

I think the gems will end up being COD2, PGR3, Madden, Perfect Dark 0, and Condemned.

The rest will be good games, but not great.

 

[Sh0k]

Any reviews for Tiger Woods 360 yet .... I'm just waiting to decide between Madden or TW for my last game

That makes it sound a hell of a lot better than I'd been expecting. I guess I'll be grabbing this.

\/\/ its not really a review, so don't take it as such.

Condemned: http://www.kotaku.com/gaming/xbox-360/xbox-360-condemned-criminal-origins-handson-137859.php (score: 3.5/5)

Doesn't sound as though he's even played the whole game bar a few level. Very poor review.

Oh well, I'm not familiar with that site. I'll let them off just this once

kotaku impressions removed until they post full reviews.

 

[Kung Foo Kid]

Just wanted to say that I find this thread the most useful one out of any of the launch threads I have read. I think it should be stickied.

 

[jetjevons]

Ya Rly. Can we get a sticky on this?

 

[Chittagong]

Agreed. Great stuff with the average scores. Very useful!

Lasting Appeal - 3.0

No All-Star Weekend, no Dynasty mode, no Superstar moves, limited online play and gameplay far less appealing than its competitor, NBA 2K6. There's not much here to keep you coming back for more.


Ouch!!

PDZ UK OXM review (Nov edition)

score = 9/10

highlights -

* Superb Replay Value
* Colossally addictive on Xbox Live
* More weapons than Charlton Heston
* Better-than-high-end PC visuals

The only minus was

* Embarrassingly Wacky Voiceovers

 

[itsinmyveins]

UK OXM

Ah! The recipe for a totally worthless review!

And you work for a respected games magazine as a reviewer and are qualified to make that comment.

 

[Ghost]

More weapons than Charlton Heston

:lol

Thats up there with

Gameplay is like if halo had sex with goldeneye in a classy skybar

UK OXM was pretty harsh at the start of this gen, I remember nothing even got close to 9 after halo before splinter cell came out. I havent read it for years though.

I'll go see if i can find the issue at lunch.

No, but I've seen too many crappy reviews by official magazines. Driv3r! 9/10! It's all coming back to me now! Argh!

EDIT: And by the way, what does my job have to do with my ability to read a review? Ô_ô

 

[Ghost]

That was xbox world, not the offical mag

Your confused with PSM or something.

OXM UK gave Driv3r = 6.9

 

[Screenboy]

Not saying all press has been totally negative for the 360 but has a console launch ever had this much swaying opinion?

 

[itsinmyveins]

That was xbox world, not the offical mag

I'm still gonna be skeptic about it. Maybe the game is worth that 9/10, but i prefer listening to other magazines/sites rather than a official mag.

 

[pollo]

8.7 for Kameo from Gamespot? I refuse to believe that. I won't believe Rare finally made a good game since goldeneye and DKR

edit: well I just read the 1up review and then read Kasavin's. hrmm. I don't know who to believe :lol

 

[Mrbob]

I found some more reviews from UK OXM and one more comment about PD0:

"And the level design never deviates from 'impressive', except towards the realm of 'astonishing'".

"PDZ is easily the most graphically gorgeous first-person game ever seen on a console. But its the exceptional replay value both offline and on, the multitude of weapons you'll entertain yourself with for weeks, and the balls-to-the-wall, last second way this game came together without imploding that makes you glad to be a gamer"

Off topic a bit, but the other scores in the mag :

Kameo - 9
Tony Hawk - 7
Condemned - 8
Tiger Woods - 7
Call of Duty 2 - 9
Gun - 7
NBA Live 06 - 6
Quake 4 - 8

 

[open_mouth_]

updated with all known reviews. Still needs more Quake IV, Amped 3, King Kong, Tiger Woods, NHL 2K6, and Madden reviews though. I think once a game has seven to ten reviews, then you can get a really good gauge of its quality.

 

[Lakitu]

wheres Ridge Racer? btw thanks for doing this

 

[Speevy]

Gamerankings does a pretty good job of getting reviews together too, without the sources that no one finds credible.

 

[Speevy]

btw, you've done a superb job of putting these reviews together.

 

[open_mouth_]

that's true. Gamerankings is awesome, but they were a little slow with the early 360 reviews. They seem to be getting back on track, making this thread less and less useful over time.
