IGN gives Super Mario Galaxy 2 a perfect 10

I loved the first game, so I probably would have gotten the sequel regardless of what the reviewers said, unless of course they pointed out some flaw that made it unplayable. XD

I'm pretty excited to get SMG2. But I'm going to have to wait a while. |:<

They're only biased when he doesn't agree with them 8D
That makes sense.

No. First of all, I still read reviews. But I can tell when reviewers are just being biased, at which point I consider the entire review to be invalid. But this one's different. This review is coming from IGN. IGN has been known to be biased against Nintendo before, and they're one of the reviewers that I have a problem with the most. Yet they gave this game a 10. That goes to show that the game must have wowed IGN a lot for them to give it a perfect score. That just convinces me even more than Super Mario Galaxy deserves its perfect score.
So you just prolonged what Jas0n said.

How is IGN biased? I don't think I've ever seen a review of theirs I didn't agree with.

Because they gave Sonic and the Black Knight a 2.

First of all, that's Sonic, not Nintendo. But they are very biased against Sonic. Maybe that's what I was thinking of. Come to think of it, I think it was. I was just mixing up the two. Anyway, it's true that they're very biased against Sonic games.
 
It's funny how people call reviewers biased, they are people as well. You know, they too form opinions, hold grudges.
And considering that's all reviews really are, opinions, the lines get a little fuzzy. Especially if you're going to start slandering their views.
 
I decided not to buy it until I finish all of my uncompleted games, then I'll buy the 1st and 2nd one, since I never got to finish the first.

The only bias I've seen here is your bias for anything made by Nintendo or for their consoles.

How so? Yes, I love Nintendo, but it's not just out of bias. Nintendo gives me good reason to love their products. Nintendo's imaginative franchises are the only games that appeal to me (aside from Sonic games, and a few one-off third party games, that is), and I enjoy every bit of them. So, yes, I love Nintendo and their games and consoles. But does that mean it's just bias talking? Certainly not.
 
Honestly I've been hearing about it,then about a week ago I went to target and was browsing when I saw a reservation card for SMG2 and I thought "Meh, why the hell not." So I bought it and quite frankly I'm getting sort of excited for it.

That was a nice piece of purple prose, but I've spent enough years of my life among Nintendo fanboys to recognize one when I see one. With your constant bashing of people who play violent video games for being mindless thugs of some sort, the fact that you don't seem to have any experience with other platforms, and from that list of "great games" you posted earlier, your fanboyism is very, very apparent.
 
Dammit, I want this badly but I have absolutely no money to spend at this time. I'll probably get this late next month. I'm going to be a pool cleaner so I may accumulate enough money by then.

I don't know about the perfect 10 score though, from what I've seen it looks great but to me but a 10 seems a bit much.

What I look for in reviews is not the final score but what the game does well and what it does not. I actually like IGN's reviews.

It's true that I'm a fanboy, but I'm not the ignorant kind who bashes everything else. I call myself a Nintendo fanboy because I absolutely love Nintendo. And don't think that I haven't played games on other consoles, because I have. I just don't like the Xbox 360 and PS3. I don't like the consoles and their controllers, and there really aren't any games that interest me on them. Nintendo consoles are the only consoles that have the franchises I love, except for Sonic, which are multiplatform most of the time, and sometimes even unique to Nintendo consoles now. And about the violent video game thing, that has nothing to do with Nintendo. That's just a genre that I have no care for. And I do not bash or ridicule people for playing those type of games, like you're suggesting. As for the list of games, I do find all of those games to be great. Others may not agree with me, but for me, each and every one of those games have provided me with great entertainment. And that's what games are made for, are they not? To provide fun and entertainment. If a game provides such, then I'd say it's served its purpose and can be considered a great game to the person who it entertained, wouldn't you? That's the whole reason why I'm so passionate about Nintendo. Because they make products that I fall in love with.

PS3 and 360 are not all about shooters. There are some that you might like.
And lolwut, their controllers? Silly reason not to like them.

I'm very aware that they're not all about shooters, but the games that aren't shooters don't appeal to me, either. And a fair number of people hate the Wii solely because of its controller, so why is it so farfetched for me to dislike the PS3 and 360 for their controllers? If I can't enjoy the console's controller, then how can I possibly enjoy playing any games on that console?

It's a stupid reason for anyone not to play a console solely because of it's controllers.
 
Ah, a game's a game to me. Shooter, rpg, whatever. I personally want Red Dead Redemption; I got rid of my Wii last fall.
