    Re: Assassin's Creed

    Geez, horrible reviews. I've already got it pre-ordered in full from LionGames.com. Might as well play it when it comes in I guess..

      LOL at reviews dictating purchasing decisions? Are you 12? Give me a break. If it weren't for reviews, we would have all bought Superman 64.

      Reviews are vital and the key is to differentiate between opinion and fundamental problems and flaws. It is a pretty easy concept.

        I'm still getting it. He gave it a 7.7, I wouldn't call that a bad game. Team XBox gave it a 7.9. I figured the game would be in the mid to high 7's, so it's right on par.

          Yeah, I'll probably get it as well. It'll be a nice change of pace compared to NCAA, Halo 3, and COD4.

            Did you really think it would be getting these scores? I mean 7's ain't bad, but I think everyone thought it was going to get higher scores.

              I was expecting better than mid 7's. Still going to play it, just might beat it quick and get max profit on eBay for it.

                  Re: Assassin's Creed

                  Yeah, I thought this game was going to get pretty close to universal acclaim by reviewers the way Bioshock did. I gotta admit after reading some of the reviews I'll probably rent this one before I buy it. While I don't let reviews dictate my purchases 100%, they can bring up some valid points..and some of the ones I've been reading have scared me off of this one a bit.

                      I'm torn now. The 2 sites i value reviews from the most have differing opinions, Eurogamer and Gamespot.

                      Rental first should be the safe option

                          When I saw the footage from E3 with her chuckling over it... I figured it wasn't going to be critically acclaimed.

                            I must admit I'm enjoying the waffling going on here.

                            Hilary Goldstein, OS reviewer enemy #1 rips the game. And everyone is passing on this one.

                            Them Gamespot gives it Editor's Choice, now what? It's great again.

                            Just do what I do and rent it. It's a tiny insurance policy. If it rocks, you can buy it. If it sucks, you're out 7 bucks. No biggie.

                              Now that review says the PS3 version has the better framerate... maybe I'll go PS3 for this one...
