Ialways see 10/10, as a disappointing score. No professional reviewer should give out 10/10 more than one every few years. But GTA IV and MGS4 got that the same year from more than one review site.
Personally? I never really 'got' MGS series, I always thought it was a pointless attempt at stealth gameplay when compared to 'real' stealth games like Splinter Cell. And GTAIV? I loved it, got tired of it, finished Red Dead Redemption, and was then unable to ever enjoy GTAIV again.
(Drive from point A to point B. Follow/chase car From point A to point B. Fun Gunfight. Repeat forever. Will always be compared to complete freedom on a horse, excellent combat system, and allies who actually help in gunfights rather than call you to demand going bowling)
But I 'get' the Uncharted series. I see these games as an excellent translation of movie "action 'flicks" into game form. I love them. Is the story great, deep, involved? No. But the same goes for movie action 'flicks, you don't watch those for the story. Is the dialogue clever? In a cliché and humorous way, yes (Again, like your average movie action 'flick). But you're not there to get involved in the story, you're there to watch the story sweep you away from action scene to gunfight, and those part are where you're involved. Which happens to translate great into games, since those are the gameplay parts.
Do I think this game deserves a 10/10, even without playing it? Probably not (I'll have to plat it first, but I still think it's unlikely. Besides, I find IGN to usually go a little too easy on games.) Will I buy it unless it gets horrible reviews? Definitley.(Gamespot gave it 9/10. I rarely look beyond the two of them, especially if I already know I enjoy the series)

I don't doubt the quality of the game (although it's not to my particular taste), but isn't it strange that pretty much every AAA game gets a perfect score these days? We've had score-inflation to the point where the numbers are meaningless.
It's like reviewers are simply bowled over by the resources a large company can throw at a project like this and have to give it a perfect score- because they gave a perfect score to the last game, and this one is incrementally better technologically.

Jesus christ people, it's just a game, and A GOOD ONE AT THAT.
Honestly, what did IGN do?
Other than piss off some fanboys, which i think is the problem.
I'm getting Uncharted 3, it's pretty much the reason i have a PS3, for the exclusives.
IGN giving a game high advertizements coming out its ass a 10? Why I never would have ever excepted this highly surprising out come.
The Uncharted series is a must buy.. I expect scores for it to be in the 9-10 range. Its the best of what it is and does (well UC1&2) I am in the multiplayer beta for Uncharted 3 and its really fun and they are really trying to do something different and it looks like they may have.
Just because someone HAS an opinion does not mean it automatically deserves respect.Psychotic-ishSOB said:

As for uncharted... it looks like tomb raider except I gotta stare at some douchebag instead of Laura Crofts hot ass.
i can't go on sites like those without getting a Darkseed-esque headache as though my skull is going to explode and out will come a cynical alien that says 'They're getting paid and/or sucked off by the games companies to give them this score'.
I jest... partly; i never listen to those sites, because they proclaim Dead space and Dead Space 2 as being capable of 'making you feel sheer terror'. Whereas i call it the worst Horror game i've ever played

Fantastic story, Fantastic graphics, Fantastic gameplay, Fantastic set pieces,Fantastic writing, Fantastic voice acting
Its just a great formula polished to a mirror shine, not surprised at all

Thats ridiculous, you can't expect him to rate it down because you don't like the genre. Hes not writing a review about your opinion, its HIS opinion.mb16 said:
Its like saying "Huh an 8 out of 10 but what if I don't like videogames?"
I think this is part of the problem. Unlike movies (which have become somewhat codified) games are so varying in style that being 'the best at what it is and does' isn't enough. There are too many fields for a game to be 'the best' of:- RTS, JRPG, MMORPG, FPS etc etc. - that these scores don't translate across genre any more.Googenstien said:
We need a new metric for judging games by. The only reason publications continue to use /10 is to make headlines (such as IGN Gives Uncharted 3 a 10 out of 10), to sell games for publishing partners, and general laziness.
Yeaah... the second game honestly let me down really hard. It improved the gameplay of the first in no way, in fact it really felt like they made it worse. It felt like the developers had it plotted out meticulously exactly which enemies I was supposed to kill and exactly at what time I was supposed to kill them and exactly with what weapons I was meant to do it with; one of the most inflexible and un-fun games I've played, like a chore, really, and given how many perfect 10's it got I don't see Naughty Dog improving it much with this iteration...UrieHusky said:
