[ -> Review]

<A href="http://www.gamershell.com/">GamersHell</a>, one of the dumber sites on the internet, has also <a href="http://www.gamershell.com/reviews_Fallo ... l">smacked down</a> Fallout Enforcer. Though they gave it a 7.4/10, they basically say it's not worth buying:
 
 <blockquote>I wanted Fallout 3. I really, really wanted Fallout 3. In my opinion it?s unfortunate that Interplay wanted to go with consoles and 3D instead of continuing what we all know kicked ass on the PC. Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel isn?t a bad game, but it?s far from memorable. It?ll keep you entertained for a good 10-12 hours, but beyond unlocking harder difficulties there?s not much replay value. I think this is a game for those who thought Fallout was too hard, or too weird, but if you were a die-hard fan of the games, then a rental will be enough. Those simply looking for a new action game might like the game for its good arsenal of weapons and foul language, but in my opinion it?s not a game worth owning.</blockquote>
 
 That's kind of funny. I thought this game was marketted towards people like the staff of this site, yet they don't seem to like it much either.

..and yet it's like three clicks away from a perfect score. Anyway, yes, justice is being served.

What mystifies me here is that it's not like any publisher would want to buy off Gamer's Hell anyways. They're a total pissant site that's only noteworthy for their excellent download servers. So why the high score? Are the GH editors showing off their ability to post complete bullshit in anticipation of being bought?

how is 7.4 bad aka not worthbuying?

1 - horrible

5 - decent

7.4 < ? FOBOS ?

10 - masterpiece

most reviewers of games should be shot.

With the prices in console games these days, i dont expect alot of ppl to spend their cash on a 7.4 game. Those who still buy the damn thing will probably return the game for a refund anyway.

too high a mark for me though - but then that is true with more or less every big reviewsite - read some article that compared the major gamesites against each other on various games on various platforms - mostly too see if any certain platform gets a better or worse treatment then the other platforms on said sites (gamespot, gamespy and some others). It was all based upon gamerankings.com.

they didn't really, most sites kept their pro platform thoughts aside - but the user reviews on gamerankings was always lower then the pro reviews.

Now most users reviews are either 1s or 10s, black and white dealings - but those often cancell out each other.

So it almost came as a shock that Big rigs got 1.0 over at gamespot and not 2.4 or something.

10 -- We'll actually remember this one a few years from now
9 -- Flavor of the week
8 -- Average
7 -- Not so good

Anything below a 7 is worthless.

yeah the 5 scale is pretty neat - never really liked the one that used a scale of 10.

not really a problem -

but it's still shit though.
