That's how it should work, I agree

Bomberman: Act Zero for Xbox 360 Review - Xbox 360 Bomberman: Act Zero Review

However that game got almost 3/10 on gamespot, yet has no apparent good points and also goes to the trouble of shitting on a much loved series. If that's the 'zero' point, then it suggests that 7/10 is pretty mediocre.

That's an average so far of an 8.4/10. (cross platform)

Does that mean if a game scores an average of less than 9/10 it's mediocre these days?

IGN and Eurogamer are quite reliable and they gave it 7/7.5 which is mediocre compared to what I was hoping it would be and what I imagine Mass Effect is going to get and what COD4 has been getting (the only thing stopping me from buying this is that I already have 2 shooters to play through and don't want another just now). Eurogamer said it's still a good game but not as good as Crackdown which it has a lot in common with and is let down by repetitive and limited gameplay (I'm paraphrasing).

Remember folks, reviews are just opinions. One mans shit is anothers diamond.

Penny Arcade gave it a really good review today
Penny Arcade! - Nitpicking: Mass Effect, Part One

Hmm. I think I'll still pick it up, can always trade it in if it's gash.

Out today.

Im away t get mine after i pick the boy up from nursery!

[Acey Trixx]

yeah im gonna pick it up on my lunch break just finished reading the book last night which was pretty good.

[WoodyRATM]

Anyone played this yet?

worth getting it like now? or just wait till its cheaper? or just avoid in all?

[Brymon]

I've been playin it for the best part of the day. I like it, it's not without it's flaws though. Graphics could be better, the frame rate is a bit shit ie it jerks now and again and once you get into your ship and travel the galaxy, when you assemble you team and go out onto planets you've gotta go all the way back to your ship to change them if you want, which is a bit of a pain in the arse!

However its massive, the plot's pretty good and there is heaps to do!! Ill be playing this for a while me thinks!

[Acey Trixx]

the only problem ive really had with it is texture pop up but its not enough to stop me from playing it. loving it so far..gonna be able to give it a proper session when im off tomorrow

One of the things i really like about it is being a nastay bastard, my renegade points are climbing right up!
