Because clearly those games don't have "enough new ideas to separate them from their predecessors".
Seriously, Skyward Sword plays more like METROID now than anything else, and if "being the same" is the major reason the game is being slapped, then the hypocrisy wagon is in order.

This is the problem with the number system. 7.5 is still a
good score. You have to factor in that different people reviewed the games.
I can't speak of what score many of the above titles should get. But this is a bad defense. "MW3 got ________ score so Skyward Sword by definition should get __________ score."
Maybe they liked Modern Warfare or Battlefield more because of multiplayer? Who knows? And I heard good things about Uncharted 3.
I'm not sitting here defending Gamespot. I think Gamespot is broken. I think we probably agree when we get to the bottom of this discussion. I want to do away with the loony number system.
I'm just giving some credit to Gamespot.....many people have complained about having to recalibrate controls in Zelda....and then have gone on to give the game a perfect score and call it the best Zelda ever. I don't ever remember OoT or Wind Waker having control issues. That's all I'm saying.
