- TehMuffinman, on 10/10/2007, -8/+80I find it hilarious that Xbox fanboys jizz their pants over, what, 4 different Xbox-related magazines/sites giving Bioshock a 10/10, but the second a Nintendo magazine gives a Nintendo game a good score, they hop on the 'OMG BIASED, LOLOLOLOL" train.
I, for one, am getting both Bioshock and Metroid Prime 3, and I'll have a fun time playing both. - Renton, on 10/10/2007, -1/+58Between Metroid Prime 3 and Bioshock, it looks like I'll be spending the whole month of September playing first person shooters.
- scabbers, on 10/10/2007, -12/+62I look forward to the first 11/10 scores now that 10/10 is the new 9/10.
- karlahr, on 10/10/2007, -6/+52Even though the picture is so blurry, I think it's legit. It doesn't really matter what reviews this thing gets, it's going to find it's way into my library.
Ocarina should have got a 10 - blahtastic, on 10/10/2007, -2/+39See mretx's comment in the above thread. Yeah it's a Nintendo mag, but they're not usually that nice, even when it comes to first party games.
- KingGoonie, on 10/10/2007, -15/+47Uhoh.. 360 Bioshock fanboys arent liking this... why if Metroid 3 starts getting reviews like this across the board then its going to equal the 1000 different articles with Bioshock reviews. Though yes, its Nintendo Power, which is basically right up there with Gamepro... still there have been games that other mags have given scores of 8 out of 10 that nintendo power has given 6 out of 10... etc. There have been great games that Nintendo Power marked low, idiots for doing so, but still... so its not like they are totally biased and will only give great marks.
- hassanchop13, on 10/10/2007, -0/+28do you also resent 4 star movie reviews? what about 2 thumbs up, because there is nothing really higher than that (unless someone has three thumbs)? whats the point of a 1 to 10 scale if you can never reach 10. why not just make it a 1 to 9 scale?
- mretx, on 10/10/2007, -7/+32I don't see why it was so obvious to you. perhaps you are thinking it's a nintendo magazine... well, FYI, even zelda games (ocarina and twilight princess) didnt get 10 from nintendo power.
- gavreaux, on 10/10/2007, -0/+24it doesn't mean either of those things. It means that at this point in time, in this context, this game was everything it could have been. You can't throw such aboslutist terms at something as subjective as a game review.
- BattleScars, on 10/10/2007, -0/+21I think he meant to say: "Would you like a smoke and a pancake? you know, a cigarette and a flapjack? how bout a cigar and a waffle? a pipe and a crepe? a bong and a blintz? Then there is no pleasing you."
- greenblob, on 10/10/2007, -1/+21I heard somewhere that the only game to get a 10 was RE4.
- keviniskool, on 10/10/2007, -0/+18I noticed you put some extra Vs in there. Might want to hold down ctrl a little better than that.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+19... but this one goes to eleven.
- Scheissenegger, on 10/10/2007, -1/+17no, they gave it a 9.5......
- dpowre, on 10/10/2007, -4/+20you fail
- BadassCheese, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16I have a Wii60. This will be the best two gaming weeks of my life.
- hassanchop13, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16so you just hate all reviews? some of us dont have the money to try every game out there, so its nice to get some suggestions once in a while.
- Freegrout, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15They probably had to secretly photograph it from three buildings over.
- Tyorant, on 10/10/2007, -4/+19I'm going to go ahead and predict Metriod Prime 3 will not be as good as OOT was in 1998...
Prime 1 was outstanding and original but even that didn't meet OOT.
IMO. - 28dayslater, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16Is your brain broken?
- kufu91, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1511/10 = 1.1
impossible? - ThinkBox, on 10/10/2007, -4/+18you are what's wrong with digg
- mrfreeziexp, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14A scanner or a camera with more then .05 megapixles..
- D3koy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15You've got my hopes up now Nintendo, don't drop the ball now...I want a quality game
- Jeffler, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15Though it is Nintendo power, this is their second 10 in their entire 20 year history.
- Shorties, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16that somewhere was the info of this story...
- bpapa, on 10/10/2007, -3/+16Umm... you might want to pick up an issue of Nintendo Power and thumb through it, because saying "any nintendo game pretty much gets a near perfect review" is a load of *****.
- evilizor, on 10/10/2007, -5/+18Nintendo Power scored Twilight Princess 9.5, lower than some "unbiased" outlets rated the game.
Casamassina said the new Prime has the BEST controls ever on a console FPS.
Retro gave us the original Prime, which got an average 96.3 on gameratings.com.
I don't see why so many people are surprised that MP3 is going to be fantastic. - Shanobi, on 10/10/2007, -3/+16Let's see how some games compare between different publications, and Nintendo Power. I'll use Metacritic, since they're all nice and compiled there.

NP-9 - Shanobi, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13Wow, I guess the idiots on DIGG just make up whatever they want. 7 was the correct answer, we're sorry but you win nothing.
- potterboy, on 10/10/2007, -2/+14You actually think Metroid Prime, a Wii game, will get a 10 from gamespot?
- Freegrout, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13Really? Because I was under the impression that it had a monthly circulation of 435,000 copies and was published directly by Nintendo, a company making almost $8,000,000,000 in profit each year.
- Blah_Blah_Blah, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11are you saying MP3 doesnt deserve a 10? noone has even played it yet
- Jeffler, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10At least spell his name right...
- daridave, on 10/10/2007, -3/+13We're in for some metroid pwnage time... I haven't been excited over a Metroid title since the first Prime, but I think this really, finally is the "play and see" title that the Wii needs.
Now, if only other companies would start TRYING, we'd have more ... - greenblob, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9I knew that...
- Shanobi, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11You should try reading their magazine, since they have a long history of rating games lower than almost every other major publication.
They were the 38th "highest" review on Twilight Princess. If they were as you say they are, you'd think that review would have been at least in the top ten highest scores.
If you know ANYTHING about them though, their scores are LOW, consistantly. 6 is pretty average there. Hard to believe anybody would call that magazine biased, but hey, ignorance is bliss. - Clbck, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9Uh, 9.5 would be one of the lowest scores that OOT got.

- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10Holy *****, spoke too soon.
Just got done watching the trailer with the "Aurora" computers in them that looked just like MB! :D - lacronicus, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8did you seriously just bring up halo 3 in a post that makes a game out to be overrated? seriously?
- Linh, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7well, this is the GAMING section of digg....
- thebellmaster1x, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Because then people would bitch about 9/9 reviews.
- artemus, on 10/10/2007, -4/+11Yeah, Metroid is not so much a first person shooter, as it is an adventure game(although this one is supposed to have a lot more of that in this one). Having said that, if you want to get don't let anything get your way.
- arsheroica, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7I guess you probably are the only one.
- MatttK, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8Once the dust settled, Twilight Princess wasn't a 10 by far. It was awesome but come on.. did you notice the world map was IDENTICAL (except flipped on Wii) to that of Ocarina? Heck, even half the story was ripped directly off of Ocarina (though, Zelda isn't known for its original storylines). If you go back and play Ocarina, you'll notice that some of the cutscenes are like cheesy versions of the Wii ones you just beat last year. Oh yeah and what's with Gant at the end? WHY?!?!?!! It was a really awesome game but 10/10? No way. Definitely not.
- mewhunter67, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6i know, i've noticed that nintenndo power, even though owned by nintendo, really arent mindless propaganda spewers. they actually try to look like their doing it right. they do have some issues, being too harsh, but yeah. i think theyre more legit to some others.
- vamos, on 10/10/2007, -13/+19Nintendo Magazine - Fair and Balanced
