Gaming Zelda: TP only gets an 8.8 from GameSpot

[Hitto]

Who gives a fuck, really?

Imagine this situation, I'm a young journalist and I want to get famous real fast. There's this game, that EVERY SELF-RESPECTING GAMER is going to buy no matter what, it's famous and most other news sites just slap a 10/10 or equivalent score on it and guzzle on how fabulous it is.

I slap a 3/10 on the famous game, and let the fanbois have a field day with the whining and coming to my website to read my horrible review or just see if I really dared to "insult" the game. More hits = more ad revenue = more money, just because I said Zelda sucks.

Now imagine a seasoned journalist doing this for a well-known site, and replace the 3 with a 8.8. Like it's such a horrible note. Let's see if the internet idiots fall for that one like they all did when Nintendo said "Wii".

GEE, GOOD THING NONE OF YOU ARE SUCH TOOLS!

On a side-note, IGN seems to like the launch catalog of the Wii:

Madden NFL 07 8.5
Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, The 9.5
Rayman Raving Rabbids 8.3
Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam 7.0
Excite Truck 8.0
Call of Duty 3 7.7
Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz 8.4
Trauma Center: Second Opinion 8.0
Wii Sports 7.5

If my memory serves me well, these are better than the rating the launch DS games got. If anything, this should be a sign of good things to come

People care way too much about stupid ratings and not enough about enjoying the games
