It's bs though. Who is that quote speaking for. I bought my ps3 for exclusives and have been enjoying them thoroughly since mgs4 and the original uncharted. All his quote does it put previous ps3 exclusives in a bad light and implies that I was misguided in my initial opinions of those games.
I haven't read the whole review as I don't want to give gamespy any hits.
Shurs said:
My take on that line is he is essentially saying, finally an exclusive worth owning a PS3 for. Which is a bit of a cop out really. That and "best single player PS3 experience", followed by a 4.5. I just wish reviewers would leave the whole "finally time to buy a PS3" crap behind. It's like they're still stuck in 2007. Clearly Gamespy didn't get the memo or they have a pretty bad memory, since you know, they gave pretty good scores to MGS4, KZ2, LBP etc.

I think the Fortress is my favourite area in Uncharted. I love how interconnected it all is. When you're scaling the buildings and see areas you've previously visited, or combat arenas you've long since cleared, or you run across a high up spot and see areas you're yet to visit, but know you'll be visiting soon, or you run through the prison that you later break out of which is, incidentally, correctly placed for the break out scene and car chase, which leads straight through the area you visit right after the jail, it just gives off the impression that a lot of care was put into building the levels.
It's the little things you appreciate when you play it more than once. I hope U2 has at least one centralised location like this.

@shurs: Apologies for condescending tone earlier.
What you said was my first reaction as well. But then I thought its been deliberately edited to be ambiguous. He could have just added the words 'finally'. And that shows some maturity.
I think he reviewed Siren Blood Curse (I could be wrong) and said something similar. It wasn't perfect, but it was very good and gave it an A.

It's really not fair to judge a review by other reviews posted on a particular site, but it's so easy to do and get caught up in. When sites are reviewing a game as buggy as NFS:Shift as perfect, it's kind of disheartening to see a game that you feel deserves a higher score to get a lower one. It's an easy trap to fall into. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it is frustrating in some respects.
I think if sites want to give their readers a sense of integrity in their review process they need to effectively limit incidents of this, but it's all up to the individual reviewer, and they also have to respect their writers. People will be upset and bitch, but at the end of the day it's not that big a deal. Plus, it's still a goddamn 90%. People just post impulsively, that's the nature of the internet. There's nothing wrong with it.

Let's do it.
Spent about an hour playing the beta/demo for the first time last night. Overall I liked it a lot. The maps, graphics, and gunplay were awesome.
Only complaint is that the bullets are slow. At any kind of range it's just too hard to hit people. I was aiming with the 3 round burst gun using the red-dot and it was hopeless.
The controls overall though are much tighter than Uncharted 1. Will buy. Just a question of when...

It does take a while to get used to the shooting in this game. It took me a good week to not die all the time :lol . Just keep plugging away and always keep moving.

"Im waiting to its $350"
"...................its $299"
"...................its $250"
"$200 w/ extra DS3 or bust"
basically they get a STFU.

I hate the Eurogamer review. Nothing against the 10/10, I'm sure the game deserves it, but the way it's written seems like a pathetic attempt by the reviewer to create a portfolio piece in the hope that he'll one day get an interview for EDGE.
I don't know the guy, don't know anything about what he's written in the past or his experiences in the games industry, but reading that review really pissed me off, for reasons I still can't quite identify.
I read it and came away with no new information, it just seems very over-written. Which is a shame, because I like Eurogamer's review usually.
Still, 10/10 is clear enough, I suppose. I don't know why it bothered me so much, but I had to write somewhere about it. Now that I have I can get back to looking for a good deal on a PS3 and the game.

Well that's the weird thing, it was one of those pistol only matches in the Ice caves, I dropped down a ledge behind the guy who was creeping slowly with a shield, he had no clue I was behind him. I lined him up for a head shot from not even 5 feet behind him and proceeded to fire off 4 shots into the back of his head. That kind of took the wind out of my sails for the night.

if he wanted an interview with EDGE he wouldn't have given it a 10/10Dead Man Typing said:
Really? I think it outclasses most of the other reviews released so far. The rest read like bloggers wrote them. Like the 1up review...pretty bad. The GameSpy and GamePro ones are awful.Dead Man Typing said:
The Eurogamer review is one I'd read once I've finished the game...and I'd nod along.
And being the quality of an EDGE review is a compliment.
I think most people have been dumbed down by most video game writing.
