I never got what the big deal was with that Zelda review. 8.8 is farfin' good! I mean you can't get all pissed off because it didn't get a 10 just because you love it to death.

" Fun fact: go on Google.com and type 8.8 and then look at the first search result. "
That's beyond words ridiculous.

Those are good memories. I remember how the Earth seemed to shake when he made that review. Back then I was a bit younger and of course disagreed with him....before I got the game. Now, I look back at it after playing a good amount of the game and totally agree. That was not a great game in any sense.

@Scooper: I know. Hell, they looked bored as hell and wouldn't get up from the couch. I have a friend like that. Every time I break out the Wii, he just sits there on the couch. He's an oldschool gamer though, give him Galaga and he's a happy camper.

GameTrailers after the Uncharted review was also pretty fun =P I just think that the whole .0 point-system is stupid. Just use a regular 1 - 10

" Wait... Jeff was the one who reviewed it? Wow. WOW. I'm not joking when I say this - but this review was the reason why I stopped listening to reviews, almost three years ago. I didn't know who he was back then, and when I read the review, I didn't really care.  Wow...  I just didn't like how points were taken off because the game didn't "evolve" anything. For me, I don't care about any of that - if the game is fun, memorable, whatever, I will love it. I don't think that gaming has anything to do with Darwinism. I dunno, it just kinda ground my gears.  And, now knowing that the same guy who reviewed Twilight Princess also reviewed BlazBlue, I kinda get it. I'm just glad I'm not swayed by reviews :D I still think Jeff is really cool, I just don't agree with some of his reviews. "

wait, if I understand this, you stopped listening to reviews because that zelda game scored lower than you'd like?  8.8 is a damn good score.  Maybe I'm just so used to imdb.com ratings where an 8 really means something, and anything higher than that is amazing. "
No, it doesn't really have anything to with the numbers. It's in what he actually said - about how it's the same old Zelda, nothing is new, they're just re-using gameplay designs, they need to add voice overs, etc. I actually love how the Zelda series doesn't use voice overs. It's like watching a silent movie - it has it's charms. While those negatives that Jeff listed may be true, it's still fun - and it's something I don't see as a negative. Which is the reason why I dislike all reviews. They're other people's opinions which could hold you back from playing a game that you could possibly like. You need to play something first hand to get the full experience. It's like saying, How can you experience the culture of a new city without ever having gone there?

I think this is one of reasons why Giant Bomb uses a 5-star rating, to avoid crap like Zelda: Twilight Princess's score.
