So, the first review is reported to be 9.5/10 in December OXM
Of course a great score, but in the same issue Fallout 3 got 10/10
Fallout 3 has two names behind it

- Fallout
- Bethesda

So, if it did get 10, would be understandable

Hell, Halo 3, GTA4, FF12 and MGS4 for 10/10, why not Fallout 3, scores are hype and user base dictated these days, for example i already know the scores of most LBP, GOW3 and FF13 reviews too, far before they come out

The funny thing is why Fable 2 did not get 10/10, when it has better graphics, variery, fresh gameplay, huge innovations, a far more alive and AI-simualtion driven world etc etc

If Fallout 3 got 10/10, Fable 2 should be at 20/10
So, why OXM, why on earth not 10/10 ??? Anyone has the review BTW ?

There is no question i am getting Fable 2, i mean 9.5/10 is not even a bad score, it is just that giving higher to Fallout 3 mainly because of the hype, name and developer is a bit enraging

Well have you played Fallout 3 or Fable 2 yet? How can you justify why Fable 2 should get a 10 if you haven't even tried it out for yourself yet?

So basically you're saying that you are disappointed that Fallout 3 is a better game than Fable 2?

I don't believe Fallout 3 or Fable 2 are that good. Waiting for more reviews.

No, i am dissapointed that while Fable 2 is a far better game than Fallout 3, got a lower score beause OXM valued the developer and game name, mor than actual gameplay

Anything Official "Console Name Here" Magazines is as biased as they come. Besides the only reason that Fallout got a 10 is because of the exclusive DLC. I knew both games (Fable 2 and Fallout 3) were going to get high 9's, but Dead Space gets a 6.5. WTF?

Don't know dude... They give Dead Space a 6.5 in that same magazine

Which is strange because the reviews I see around the net rate it above an 8 average.

So OXM don't know... THey maybe are on drugs?

Still a 9.5 out of 10 would be insane. That would mean another 360 exclusive scoring insanely high scores.

That's what I was thinking too. You can't call a game overrated before it's even out. Maybe you think it's over-hyped, but you shouldn't say that it is overrated. For all we know, it could be the best/worst game ever.

Yeah the Dead Space score really surprised me.A 6.5 goes to games that are below average like Haze or Alone in the Dark

A 6.5 is still a good score, people stil forget that an average score is 5, both Haze & Alone in the Dark deserved bellow that!

An average score SHOULD be 5, but in reality it's more like 7.5
