Good show, I like the new format. On a side note, I don't really read video game reviews by reviewers. I don't know why reviewers give scores now on sports games, there's nothing to compare it to. You could just say, excellent, good, mediocre, or bad. My real question is why don't reviewers handle scores like Cheapassgamer.com does and tell you the price they would pay for the game? If the game is good, but not excellent, say you'd pay 40 dollars. If it's bad, but fun for a little while, say it's a rental or under 20 dollar title. It would help out consumers a lot more than say "this game is an 8, compared to last years 8.5 because it still has this bug that I found left in it."
