Will be updated as these come out. If you have something I don't to add then give me the link or info. You want scans? I don't think theyre allowed so I wont post them... unless a mod gives the ok.

 

===Reviews===

Official Playstation magazine: 10/10

Game Informer: 9.75/10 (98 according to metacritic, which oddly got taken off a few hours ago)

GamesTM Magazine: 9/10

(If I'm allowed to post scans, I have them, but only with express permission from a mod.)

HellBored 10/10: They gave this to the preview Rockstar gave them in December, so it doesn't really count, but it's an interesting read: http://www.hellbored.com/games/review/11187

Nice, ironically this game was something i didnt really bother about about a week ago but since all the press coverage and stuff it has become my main game to look forward to for awhile!!

 

I'm glad its got great reviews and i can't wait for it! I dont think watching Unforgiven the other day helped me, i want it too much now!! Cant wait haha

This is the first game I've seen get a 10/10! WOW this wil be awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :woop::drunk

early 10/10 from big magazines don't must be taken with a grain ... no a spoon full of salt. And I've seen a million games get 10/10. Remember OXM in 07-08?

Bioshock 10/10

Fallout 10/10

Orange Box 10/10

MW 10/10

Halo 3 10/10 (total BS)

and rock band got 9.5

The thing is, 10/10 doesn't really mean anything anymore unless your reading the review from a certain critic that NEVER gives 10s. OXM is just the stupidest magazine ive ever seen/given money to. I stopped subscribing and theyve sent me 3 of the past issues since then asking me to re-sub. I just throw them away. I wonder if ill get another.

Sure they're a bit more lenient, but I just searched and they gave the Orange Box a 9.5. Yeah, I'm technical :p

Thirteen games have received a 10/10 score from OXM, but only BioShock has been given this score by both the US and UK editions. The six 10/10 games from the US edition include: Fight Night Round 3, Gears of War, Fallout 3 , Halo 3, Call of Duty 4 and Mass Effect. Whereas the five, 10/10 games from the UK edition include: Grand Theft Auto IV, PGR4, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, The Elder Scrolls IV: OblivionMass Effect 2, and Red Dead Redemption.

Quoted from wikipedia.

 

Wait... WHAT??! Red Dead Redemption got a 10 from OXM according to wikipedia. Interesting.
