Very very good, thank you!

Chittagong · Nov 15, 2005

Fantastic! Would it be too much to ask for percentages in addition to absolute scores, along with averages per game, gamerankings style? Would be great for effortless comparison.

urk · Nov 15, 2005

I give this thread an 8.3 out of 10.

Yeah, but let's wait a few days so each game has more than one or two review scores in.

the money was too good to pass up

So far, no real turds in the 360 lineup. That's a relief.

Oh it's a little too early to call that. But so far so good.

And one Amir0x is plenty.

Hey, just want to say thanks for compiling all these.

edit: sorry wrong console

open_mouth_ · Nov 15, 2005

updated and cleaned up a bit

terrene · Nov 15, 2005

Man. "Perfect Dark: Zero" must be a reference to the media blackout and the number of pre-launch reviews.

gunstarhero · Nov 16, 2005

Nice thread!

Wow - I really thought Kameo would have gotten hammered in the scores - but it's not looking too shabby. (though the style still needs to be dragged out back and shot... twice imo)

This lineup is looking goooood.

IGN has new THAW & Gun reviews.

Speevy · Nov 16, 2005

Apparently Tony Hawk is next-gen enough for an 8.3, but PGR3 has "last-gen gameplay" and "PGR2.5 graphics".

theREBELins · Nov 16, 2005

7.1 for NHL 2K6 over at IGN

7.9 for Gun @ IGN

maximum360 · Nov 16, 2005

Is 7/10 the new 6.9? Or was that 6.2?

Fuma · Nov 16, 2005

The launch lineup is looking great. Just a quick note, ign is gushing over the 360 version of King Kong in their playthrough. No review yet, but this could be another strong title.

7/10 is the new C-, but you get a 6.8 for effort.

I reserve the right to edit that score up to a 7.8 in a few weeks and not tell anyone, though.

open_mouth_ · Nov 16, 2005

bumped and updated

I'll try to update tommorow evening too. peace

GhaleonEB · Nov 16, 2005

Great job, and thanks.

FeedMeAStrayCat · Nov 16, 2005

Those Perfect Dark reviews better start coming in soon..

Monk · Nov 16, 2005

Kudos to IGN for being a little harsher on games this time round. 1 up on the other hand has already given a 10/10 and the most controversial score(7/10 for kameo), they really need to get together and sort this shit out.

updated before I head to bed. keep posting the newest reviews in this thread if possible so it's easier to keep updated. So far the winners in the launch lineup seem to be Condemned, Call of Duty 2, Kameo, PGR3, and probably PD0. More reviews are needed

You can add Gamespot's 6.6 review of Tony Hawk to the list.

It's easier if all reviews are in one spot.

IGN has the Video Review of Need for Speed Most Wanted but no score. The game looks good and they liked it.

HERE

open_mouth_ · Nov 17, 2005

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.

ziran · Nov 17, 2005

thanks for the compilation.

If PD0 continues to get good socres then i might be convinced to splash out the money for xbox360
