As what I thought might be the start of a fun new monthly multiformat review discussion thingie, here are the latest Games(tm) review scores(popped through my door 10 mins ago):

Orange Box (review split into 3) ~ 9 (Portal ...like everything else in the Orange Box, you simply must own)
Timeshift ~ 5 (A boring interpretation of an interesting idea)
R&C: Tools of destruction ~ 6 (Enjoyable but dated)
WipEout Pulse ~ 7 (It's just not that important)
Thrillville: Off the rails ~ 7 (A definite improvement over the original)
TH: Proving ground ~ 7 (Solid but not spectacular)
WWE Smackdown! Vs RAW 2008 ~ 6 (Improving gradually, but far from perfect)
Rockstar Presents Table Tennis Wii ~ 8 (A triumph of control)
Ace Combat 6 ~ 7 (Great action, bizarre story, lots of fun)
Clive Barkers Jericho ~ 5 (It's solid)
Conan ~ 6 (A welcome suprise)
Super Mario Galaxy ~ 9 (A landmark videogame)
Eye of Judgement ~ 5 (Far too greedy for it's own good)
Fifa 08 ~ 8 (It's been a long time coming)
PE 2008 ~ 7 (In serious need of a lick of paint)

Some discussions in there me thinks!

Fifa 08 wins, Timeshift & Jericho ones to miss (I called it), Orange Box does as we all knew it would, Wii wins as Super Mario Galaxy delivers and more PS3 superhype underdeliverers?

I dunno - do you review the whole package or each game? I wouldn't give any of the Orange Box games more than a 9 sperately.

That's what they've done. Whether you should review it as a whole or seperate is a debate in itself:

Half Life 2 Episode One ~ 9
Half Life 2 Episode Two ~ 9
Portal ~ 9
TF will be given an online review next issue and Half Life 2 had already gotten a 9.

So.. 9 it is.

But there are 5 games in it. If you're looking for value for money, you're looking for that, and longevity, you'll be hard pushed to find a game offering more.
Half Life 2 is a game that's recieved over 50 game of the year awards and is widely regarded as one of the most influential of all time.

Reviewing 3 games out of 5 and still giving it 9 should surely mean a further 2 games would make it a 10 out of 10 game.

Heh, I'm with you bud. I'm just relaying the scores :)

I will admit I was surprised by the R&C score after the universal praise it got on here. I wasn't at all surprised by the Timeshift and Jericho ones since I played the demos.

The thread starter, i subscribe to Games, but it hasnt came in yet, I didnt realise he was going to spoil my monthly read the mag on the toilet dump by posting all the scores in the first post.

Its probably the highlight of the month, and its been taken cruelly for me, i usually brew up for a few days to enjoy it all the more.
