Thanks for $hitting on my dreams.

Um, I think Halo 2 deserves at least a 9.5. Not a 10, but only because the graphics are TOO GOOD for the system. They don't always load on time. Other than that they made improvements in every area. I think I still like Halo 1's mutiplayer more but Halo 2 did even improve that, even if I don't personally like it as much. And reviews (from game informer at least) are almost always fair and accurate. The only review i've disagreed with them a LOT is their tekken/virtua fighter reviews. It's irritating to me that they love virtua fighter but only kinda like tekken. Tekken takes so much more skill to play...

I have a subscription to GI and I have disagreed with a ton of things they haven't liked. For example, they didn't really like Soul Caliber 2. While they didn't hate on it, they only gave it like an 8.5 and that is BS. They don't particularly like Old School games, and they are somewhat inconsistent with the things that they grip about. Most of the time when I DO actually agree with something they (or any other reviewer for that matter) say, it is an awful excuse for a game, and it is always easy to see a stray piece of trash in a basket of fruit (basket of fruit, that was a weak analogy ).
