    Some class filters there. The chalk dust one is very strange.

    I wonder if it's akin to the 'Last of Us' live event they did.

    IGN's provisional 8.8 is commendable because I was certain they'd go for a high 9 or even a 10. They regularly, and quite rightly, get stick for their inflated reviews so I'm glad to see a bit of restraint from them.

    Those are some seriously strong review scores in fairness.

    I love a company that's happy to have its game reviewed a week prior to release.

    Jesus I can't wait to play this.

    Will be a week or two before I get a chance. Haven't been this excited for a game in recent memory.

    Have you actually read the review? 8.8 is consistent with their criticisms of the game. They didn't just slap a sub-9 score on it to be cool.

    I keep forgetting about it, haha. I might change it. I'll let Cathal's spirit guide me in my decision.

    Cool.

    It's just hard to tell given the amount of bull**** flying up around the handful of slighty critical reviews this game has received.

    There is pretty much no difference between 8.8 and 9 in my eyes.

    Both mean "This is a really great game and I liked it".

    Look at the comments section on IGN and you'll see the difference 0.2 can make. The review is getting absolutely flamed because it's not 9 or above.

    I agree with you though. High scores are generally indicative of a good game but I take them with a pinch of salt. Edge's are the only ones I take seriously and even then it's still only another useful guide.

    But the few negative reviews of Uncharted are not going down well, so I'm glad IGN didn't capitulate (yet), for the sake of a balanced argument.

    Their 8.8 review is doing it's job.

    We're talking about it, it's generating clicks.

    How many of the dozens of 9/10 reviews are people looking at now when there's this INSANE review at 8.8

    WHY ARE YOU NOT 9???

    WHAT'S THE 0.2 ABOUT???

    I NEED VALIDATION!!!!
