First LittleBigPlanet reviews to go live tomorrow night

Just a quick heads up for those of you who need a game's strengths and weaknesses quantified by numeracy: Eurogamer.net and an as-of-yet-unnamed-US-site will be publishing their respective LittleBigPlanet reviews tomorrow night at midnight UK time.

1.1 - Yeah but.....
I really don't trust Eurogamer for my PS3 reviews.
Their previous history concerns me.

1.2 - @ 1.1 i cannot agree more
giving MGS4 the same score as Pure (both 8/10) makes it very obvious that you cannot trust them in their reviewing system.

IMO eurogamer is too concerned about the entertainment (traffic) on their site, rather than in true gamer's interests.

And please don't tell me that they're just a tough site.. because that theory got crushed when they gave Halo3 a `10.. not saying that Halo3 is a bad game.. just saying that it did not deserve a 10 if they were so hard to impress..

As of now.. the only website trustworthy has become IGN.. they seem to love all platforms and all games.. that's what i like to see.

@Bullettoothtony - Yeah I agree with you there, IGN seem like they give unbiased (but usually quite harsh reviews), so I tend to see what score they give more than other sites.

Although even if LBP gets 5/10 I'm still going to get the game, because I don't buy games based on review scores, but on my personal opinion by watching trailers, gameplay, live demos etc.

Well I'm pretty sure the scores will be high. Though this is a day one purchase for me regardless of what the critics think.

I think they will give a 10. I never seen an article tell us when the reviews are coming out. Must be something for a special score which is a 10.

3 10/10 games from IGN in a year? Make it 4? If not it'll be 9.9/10. :).

I don't trust review scores. They mean nothing to me for so many reasons, the least of which being the whole "paid for" aspect. I use a review's content however to help inform myself, then make my own decision.

I suggest you all do the same, for ALL games.

EDIT - Disagree fairy eh? Be a man and tell me why I should let someone else's opinion be greater than my own?

Hellangelzx - 446 days 23 hours ago
6.1 - Yeah
I don't look for scores either, to me they don't mean much, even though you can usually assume anything that is 7 or higher is pretty decent.

The thing people should be looking for is the review underneath the score. That's what will tell you about all the flaws(if any) and the game play experience.

i dunno about not trusting them
i mean would u pick up a game thats 1/10? i wouldn't.

last gen i used reviews as a base line, anything above a 7 was fair game for me to try atleast once. if i liked it i kept it, if not i returned it simple as that.

games get reviewed for a reason. unless u only buy games that are 9.5-10 range, reviews are only guidelines for what you should try and what u should stay away from.

even if LBP scored an 8 average on all reviewing sites id still try it because i like the whole costume thing.

Yeah I agree. Especially after I heard Konami gave restrictions to the reviewers for their game MGS4. They pretty much said do not mention all the negatives. Once I heard that, I never looked at a review score the same.

6.4 - They weren't allowed to talk about the installations
That's about it. And understandable considering how much flack Capcom got for their game installation, even though it significantly cut down loading times.

THAT tipped you off Knight? Really? Weird, I was tipped off when reviewers were caught being given swag bags to review Halo 3, which came out well before MGS4. You must have missed that part...

BTW, I'm all for hiding the story spoilers that Kojima wished to keep secret, which I was told was most of the restriction anyways. Spoiling the ending of 60 years of continuity would be a d1ck move.

Actually they also said not to talk about the horrendous loading and the long and boring movies. It's funny how other games don't get the same treatment. I know Mass Effect had points taking away because of the loading and that was only a fraction compared to MGS4.

Little Big Planet is the first game I have ever played and wondered how could anyone not give this a 10?
Shut this user up Let user speak
gumgum99 - 446 days 22 hours ago

Its mainly because of the hype factor. As much as this game deserves a 10 or even a 11, they dont want to be conceived as a site that is overwhelmed by the mass hype and appeal of this game as a whole.

its usually nothing personal though.

Wow, didn't know I needed a story to tell me there will be more stories tomorrow with numbers in them, but thanks for the "heads up"...

BTW, LBP is on pre-order and, yes, that is saying something for me cause I never pre-order.

18 - With Eurogamer, I won't get my hopes up,
but if they rate it a 9 or 10, it would say something about the game itself.

Notable Site shouldn't give this game more then a 9.5 which is still a Great Score, and a Must buy if you own a PS3 and if you have Kids
