I like to look at it this way. It is simply 3 peoples opinion on a game. It will in no way affect my decision in what to purchase as I get try em all. I have no idea if EGM is biased, if they get paid under the table, closet maddenfans, hate sega, or simply found the game to be better then ESPN, nor do I care to. I make my own gaming decisions and recommend you do too. If that means renting both then picking one then do it.
Why people put so much faith and or concern in any review, is beyond my comprehension. ESPECIALLY when it is about the SCORES...
The content is the only thing I concern myself with. Scores serve some purpose but can you really tell me the difference between a 8.5 or 8.75 and a 9.0?
