Perfect Dark Zero "Blew Gamespot Away"

Well I'm glad Rare didn't go completely to waste. Grabbed by the Ghoulies was not promising for them.

Once they release Banjo Kazooie 360, I'm pretty much sold.

Considering that Perfect Dark: Zero was in development for 10 years and that it was touted by many as THE killer app for the Xbox 360, I'd say that a ranking of 87% on GameRankings.com is kind of a disappointment. What's really interesting is GameSpot's review is actually the second highest rating there (some site called Talk Xbox gave the game 97%). GameSpot is normally on the low end, but I guess in this case they just really liked it. It should also be noted that as of this post, IGN Xbox hasn't had their say yet.

Also, some might say Kameo is getting good reviews. But that kind of depends on what your definition of good reviews is. How does 77% do for you?

I stand by my original statements. It appears so far that while Rare doesn't produce absolute crap, Perfect Dark: Zero is no Goldeneye (or even Perfect Dark) and Kameo is no Banjo Kazooie.

And let's also keep in mind that Star Fox Adventures initially had really high reviews. But you'll have a hard time now finding many people who still think it's great.

What is up with the hate for Star Fox Adventures, anyways. I definitely thought it was great.

I think people are just wimps when it comes to collecting.

I beat it in a weekend so I didn't find it dragged out too long.

The important thing here is that Bond targeted several people and in one way or another, we've all given him a severe pwning in his very own thread. He set himself up with the assumption he'd be able to wriggle free with some very misplaced and innappropiate egotism. And now looking back on this thread, he's the one who's been ****ed over the hardest. I guess he was absent from the 'ol Catholic school on the day his righteous teachers taught the old adage, "practice what you preach."

Yea I never had a problem with Star Fox Adventures either. Its coming in at 81% from gamerankings, and IGN gave it a 9.0. I thought the ending was especially killer. Anyways, people do diss on SFA too much I believe.

I like how the Xbox360 naysayer, uh, naysayer has mysteriously disappeared...

I just played the 360 at the local Future Shop and...wow, I almost wanted one right then and there. No matter what the cost. I came to my senses but I may end up getting one later on...after PS3

When I played CoD2 at Futureshop I was impressed only by the controller.
