IGN gave the gameplay/controls a 4.5 out of 10 in the review they did.
The overall average should be 6.7, if you do the math. Why give points in each area, as well as a overall total, when you're not even going to use the overall as an 'average'.
Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "When shopping for new video games you can often trust the name publisher or developer on the box to be an indication of the quality of the game. Names like Nintendo, Square Enix, Sony Interactive Entertainment, Capcom, Xbox Game Studios and Sega are world famous because they helped shape the industry by releasing some of the most defining video games of all time. Though sometimes even these great gaming houses stumble and put out a stinker."
Splatterhouse remake . Loved the og’s at the arcade growing up . Hell the best thing about the remake was the og,s were included . And left alive by Square . That game had so much potential , but the gameplay was worse horrendous .
I'm pretty much certain that any Sonic game that comes out will be terrible, I've not enjoyed one since the original side-scrolling days of the MegaDrive.
A reimagining of 5 disappointing video games and the masterpieces they could have been underneath other studios.
The Order has its faults yes but it had a fantastic atmosphere and some great gameplay. A game with enormous potential and far from disappointing. I say give Ready at Dawn another crack at it because I think they created an diamond with some rough edges that just needs some tlc.
The order should have had a sequel. The first one wasn't bad just needed a few tweaks.
PlayStation’s strong and impressive lineup of exclusives is probably the biggest edge it has over its direct competition in the market- a fact that has been true for as long as anyone can remember.
Ridge racer for PSP was actually good and shouldn't be on this list. I think I'm the only one that enjoyed Haze.
When this piece of flotsam indicated that "Being a clone of GTA shouldn't be that hard" I just closed the window.

it's up to IGN on how they review and score a game, to make the change the blogger suggests. IGN will have to go back and change every score.
With all the time spent criticizing IGN, people should just rent the game and try it themselves.
IGN says the final score is NOT an average...something a lot of reviewers do
--------
overall this is just lame...6.7 is nothing to be proud of
the reason they give scores in each category, is so you see how well it did in each category. Each category is not equally important. By making it an average, you would have presentation just as important as gameplay. Are the menus as important as how the game plays??? Of course not.
I should not of had to write down something that obvious, as it should be common sense.
PS: Since when are crappy pointless whiny blogs approved at N4G?
6.7 is still crap, Lair sucks balls, get over it, play Warhawk instead, stop approving this garbage.
I love my PS3. I wanted this machine, because the franchises I love are on the PS3. I am happy with my purchase, and don't flinch at what I paid for it. Scream Halo, scream whatever. I will not buy another machine this generation. Seriously.
But Lair was terrible. The score it got from IGN and the like is SPOT ON. The game is a crap fest, in my opinion (Remember this phrase). Why do we continue to defend this monstrosity? Can anyone honestly tell me what they like about this game? And why does it seems like a lot of Playstation hardcores want to salvage this game? Why not use Persona 3? Yes it is a PS2 game, but NOTHING on either machine (Xbox 360, or Wii) is anything like it. Warhawk? The game is brutal fun. It should be all we are talking about right now.
Let this game die the death it deserves... With a whimper.
