It got below an 8 because it isn't a generic first person shooter like halo, or cod. I thought you all knew this.

Another funny thing: Gamespot gave Lords of Shadow the exact same score as Harmony of Despair.  ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

As someone said, this game will be nitpicked here at the dungeon soon enough, no need to freak out abut the gaming press doing it now. I find it hilarious people here are expressing umbrage at reviewers saying anything critical about the game-even though its still quite clearly getting good reviews overall.

When I think back to the over the top griping leveled at Portrait of Ruin and Curse of Darkness ("the worst games ever. EVER I TELL YOU!") and contrast it with the hear-no-evil response to these reviews. . .

If I forgot "everything I knew about Castlevania" I certainly wouldn't be excited about a new one coming out now would I?

OSM, create an European account on PSN. Then you can play the demo. It's really easy.

Why all this interest in these reviews?

Speaking for myself, I was just interested to see what scores it would get, more so after all those previews. If the game got 2's, I'd still play it.

I was suppose to say something profound here. I don't 'do' profound so much as ramble so...whatever. Here lies text. Congratulations for reading it.  You were as bored as I am. Seriously, stop reading, you can't be that bored.  Still here? Really?  You officially are my new favorite person and now are owed one internet cookie. Don't eat it though, it gives you bad gas.

That's my opinion as well.....

Newsflash.  Halo Reach blew.  COD, over done.

Looking His Eye!!!!!

Castlevania : Lords of Shadow - Gameplay Medley

That is a no contest track of thought honestly, this is probably one of the prettiest games out there right now.
