The Shrine

1up LOVES it. Made by Bioware. Sounds like it could be a great game

1up gave it the highest review so far, which is odd because they usually hand out the lowest reviews.

Site Profile IGN 9/24/2008 6.5 out of 10 65.0%
Site Profile Game Informer 11/1/2008 8.5 out of 10 85.0%
Site Profile 1UP 9/26/2008 A 95.0%
Site Profile Eurogamer 9/23/2008 7 out of 10 70.0%
Site Profile Nintendo Power 11/1/2008 8 out of 10 80.0%
Site Profile TotalVideoGames 9/29/2008 7 out of 10 70.0%
Site Profile Official Nintendo Magazine UK 11/1/2008 93 out of 100 93.0%
Site Profile Ngamer UK 9/24/2008 7.9 out of 10 79.0%
Site Profile GamePro 9/23/2008 3.5 out of 5 70.0%

And IGN usually gives out the highest reviews....what the..?

Hmmm, makes me curious...but I already bought Disgaea DS, so...

IGN sometimes scores DS games high, but usually lower than everyone else. 1up, from what I see, hands out a lot of 100's.

A little difficult considering they have a letter grade system now

I have seen a number of 100's handed out from that site. I don't really care if they recently switched over to letters instead of numbers since it doesn't change the fact.

Both of you shut the fuck up.

I'm conflicted. I have a great fondness for Bioware and nothing but contempt for the Sonic universe.

You are quickly becoming my new favorite person.

I think instead I'll do the logical thing and continue to reply when I am addressed.

Your statement is wrong because it is in the present tense. You said, '1up hands out a lot of 100's.' which, as Zeus pointed out, is impossible since the only thing they are and will be handing out are letters. If you had said, '1up has handed out a lot of 100s.' then there would be no room for argument.

Wrong. Next.

Then 1up has handed out a lot of 100's. Happy?

So many posts for such a snide little remark....

Lotus, I pretty much feel the same way you do about this game. I trust Bioware but have never really fond of the Sonic games. I'd like to find out how much the latter affected the former, though.

I trust Looking Glass/2K Boston. I trust Clover/PlatinumGames. I trust Valve.

I don't trust BioWare. They produce really cool and completely flawed games. I trust that they will both delight me and frustrate me all in the same breath, much like having sex while kneeling on a hard table.
