1.1 - Interesting that the title does not mention BioShock

which gets:

10, 10, 10 = that's a sweep!

EGM's "Game of the Month."

now everyone is praising EGM, the same magazine that they accused of being biased and having been bribed by Microsoft when it gave Lair a 6.

If it was bioshocks first 10 then that would be interesting but it has basically gotten 10's everywhere so its no suprise here. Plus bioshock reviews are old and there are tons of them anyway.

Whats even more interesting is no one on here is praising EGM and your jst showing your fanboy side by trying to rain on warhawk and heavenly swords parade.

Well because we all know that Bioshock is amazing, but people are on the fence about the PS3 games. Good scores though.

SONY PAID THEM!!!!

SIMPLE!!!!

The same way Lair and Warhawk got such low scores right??

Nobody scores a game anymore based on THE GAME! You score a game depending on how much you get paid to score it. Simple

1.7 - Yea

It's impressive coming from EGM... means the titles are probably even better than expected.

But what's even more surprising is the way that Mart stays conspicuously absent from any posts that have ANY good news to report for PS3 games :-)

1.8 - Impressed

I am also impressed EGM gave HS and Warhawk pretty good scores (not to mention Bioshock). Hopefully they'll continue to give ps3 titles the benefit of the doubt rather than being unreasonably critical (as I think was the case with the Lair review).

Thanks EGM for being fair with these reviews.

Most of the world disagrees with you (including me) and thinks you are a moron. If you can't appreciate how awesome Bioshock, you do not deserve to even be in the same room with it. Please take it back, get raped by the GameStop trade in deal, and let somebody else enjoy the game.

You only think it is bad because of all the hype. But IIRC didn't all the PS3 owners get excited with that one line of code in the config mentioning the ps3? seems like a little remorse to me.

Personally, I don't pay much attention to gamer site/magazine reviews for most do appear biased. Just to prove my point, I don't understand how Bioshock could have gotten a "10" straight across. Granted the graphics are very good; but, the storyline is full of holes, the bosses are unforgiveably easy to defeat, and ending made you want to throw your controller through the TV. At least it was easy gamerscore points. On the other hand, I am looking forward to Lair and especially Warhawk. I think that Lair will get old fast, but it still looks like a decent game. Was it EGM that gave the bad reviews...? I thought it was Mr. Nelson in PSM that downed the two titles...

1.14 - Idiot...

And you know who I am talking to...

People who start throwing ages out are usually two to three years older than the age they throw out(i.e. Stupid little kids, probably 11... that person is typically 14). I am a 31 year old helicopter pilot in the U.S. Navy. So take your little age and shove it up your a$$. I have a nice job that allows me to have 3 Xbox 360's, 2 PS3's, and a Wii, along with three HD televisions to play in HD on all of them(sorry taxpayers, I am a gamer).

I have played games all of my life. Bioshock is awesome. I play it for about two hours at a time, and after about an hour, I have to come back and play some more. The game IS awesome. And the game IS fun. Of course, that is my opinion. I can think your opinion is a piece of $hit, and that is okay. And in this case, I think you AND your opinion are little pieces of poo. So pack sand, and sod off.

2.1 - HAD it not been GAYGM

BIOSHOCK ,WARHAWK and HS would have got the exact same scores.

Bioshock is a very slow paced and boring FPS without online.
The graphics are also bad

EDGE gave WOWHAWK and BIOSHOCK the same scores.

However WOWHAWK is waaayy better than Bioshock

4.1 -

the reviewer may have had hatred for sony but he did raise some very valid points. Anyone who demerits this game for over the top cinematics is jst stupid to me because thats a big part of heavenly sword. However the points he made about puzzle solving being basically the same deserves a demerit and also the fact that there are basically like 5 different types of badguys thruout the game is really silly to me and definetly kills the lasting appeal to me. Everythin else is good though. I dont think it deserves a 7 because it still shines in a lot of other areas but it dosent deserve more than a 9 either

4.2 - EDGE doesnt suck

EDGE is the best reviewer

BIOSHOCK is not a GOTY material .
That is why it got an 8 from EDGE

EGM and other trash magazines have no credibility

EDGE praised HS but said that it lost points because it "couldnt beat GOW /become the genre defining game"

EGM sucks balls as always.

WARHAWK is wayyy more fun than BIOSHOCK

There is now way Bioshock gets a 10 from any websites cus it has bad graphics and no multiplayer/online.
IT is also one of the slowest and most boring FPS in history

A 6/10 in Edge is a very decent score.

Edge are tough in a way but that can be seen as a good thing as you really can see what the top top games are.

when EGM gave LAIR a 6 ---then where were you BOTS

EDGE gave BIOSHOCK an 8 cuz it desreves an 8.
The game has no multiplayer/online and is very boring.

It shouldnt get more than 8 from any website
However Bioshock has already flopped. It couldnt even sell 200k copies as of today

7 - Before anyone says it..

Yes I can see on the surface that some 360 fans will call this hypocrisy; at how the PS3 owners are smacked with low scores and then dismiss that as just "one man's opinion" and now in this example embrace the scores as genuine.

But the reason why the low scores of Heavenly Sword and especially Warhawk were widely dismissed in the community was that, there was some play time - over a month in the case of Warhawk and the only negative of the game was that it sometimes crashed the console. That's it.

So although these reviews may or may not speak for themselves, they will however be better embraced by others as they highlight the positives in these games. I understand though that some will still call it hypocrisy, but "there be logic in this madness".

7.1 - Don't worry

I know exactly what you are trying to say, and even though a lot of people will just dismiss us an fanboys for the arguments we made for those games, they will simply never understand where we are coming from.

That's okay though because i'll be seeing a lot less of this site in two days!

sorry but 10s for bioshock are far to much. no game was so linear like bioshock, it gets soo boring and the dieing animations and weapon design is not very good. 10 is far to much for this game.

I would like to see what is a "7" about Warhawk...I was in the beta, and am buying it immediately on release, but just curious...It has been a long time since I had that much fun with friends in the apartment playing a video game (and the first time I was playing against friend's at my place, and online, at the same time...)...

can't wait, its the best released PS3 game so far imo...and is by far the most fun online on a console I have ever had...

13.1 - There are 3 endings.

There is no KOTOR-like dialogue in the game as it is an FPS. But there are moral choices you make that effect the ending. There's also a ton of options with weapons and "plasmids". Plasmids are like magic in RPGs and there are many types, such as fire, ice, and plasmids which alter the behavior of enemies. For example, you can get a "Big Daddy" to protect you.

Bioshock is single-player only. But it's a 20 hour (or more) game.

14.1 - Depends

On how much you want to spend, and whether or not you already have a headset. The online download on PSN is only $40.00 and the retail version is $60.00 with a Jabra BT125 headset. If you don't have a headset get the retail version because a lot of people online will stick you with the "worse" team when you don't have one (typically the worst team is the team that can't communicate). That and your friends list will explode when you get a headset.

18 - Why I didn't Mention Bioshock

I didn't mention it because the whole point of this article was based on the contradicting reviews of HS and Warhawk, as described in my opening description.

Bioshock is a fantastic game and deserves all the praise but has not been the subject of debate over the past few weeks; HS and Warhawk have been.
