Didn't Splinter Cell get an 8.6, and not a 8.9 from Gamespot?
Anyways...
Splinter Cell for GCN may be a must for me (even though I have the Xbox version and no XboxLive
) simply because of the GBA version and the linkup dealie-hooyah-thingie, though I may just rent the GCN version to see how much better or worse looking the port is, unlocking my GBA stuff along the way.
As for this whole IGN thing, their entire forum (for any console) is full of idiots anyways, so this whole topic is mute.
I do think that most Nintendo Loyalists/fanboy/whatever really believe that Nintendo's quality extends into ALL games available for the system, even ports that you can see get ragged on in the source at the top of this thread.
But I must say that every review I've seen (barring a few perfect scores here and there) for a game by EAD that's very good, I've always agreed whether is was before or after I've read said reviews, but IMO, the games are really that good methinks....
