Ugh. While I've blocked out all the reviews written by jackasses, I'm pretty sure I would post ANYTHING by IGN, Gamespot, Gameinformer, or any other game magazine.
I totally agree about Nintendo Power being VERY generous with 8 and 9 review scores. It's a solid magazine overall, but it's not very objective on some games.
Well, aside from GI being composed entirely of flaming horse manure attached to a giant sack of even more flaming horse manure using a glue made of caramelized urine, I just get very annoyed with the general lack of intelligence from pretty much every game magazine ever (or almost every reviewer in general.)
