Nope. I love Ocarina of Time. Best game ever. But I still see flaws in it. Amongst speed runners it's known that Ocarina of Time is incredibly broken.

Street Fighter 3: Third Strike. One of the best fighting games ever created(if not the best). Yet the balancing issue with characters like Sean and Q are pretty bad. 100% Stun-kill combos and more

Resident Evil 4. One of the greatest games ever made. Is a tad linear with 0 puzzle elements.

To give a game 10/10 you have to brutally honest with yourself. This game maybe incredible and perfection of that genre, but if you think logically about the game and don't "fanboy" up yourself you can see what the true issues with the game are without crapping on it. You mentioned Skryim being perfect but can somehow swat off the glitches and combat. Bethesdass QA team are wank to be honest. It seems to the norm to release a game and expect glitches. If spinning heads and falling through the map was on a Zelda game....there'd be murder. You have to be fair really.

So do you REALLY think that when you play a game you can be totally, perfectly objective reviewing it? Which is better, Tetris or Resident Evil 4?

That key word. No, I can't. When I find Resident Evil 4 slightly linear with none of the puzzle elements that the previous installments had, those are are points that would effect my score. However, you might find that having it straight forward with no puzzle elements to be good. But the main point is that I am reviewing it fairly without being completely biased and that includes; bashing the game or praising it.

I am a HUGE fan of Zelda. But after playing Skyward Sword I spent 2 months thinking about that game compared to others. It wasn't as good as I thought it was. But still amazing nonetheless. But I can tell you flaws with the game and why I would rate Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker and Twilight Princess higher.


Which is better, Tetris or Resident Evil 4?
I don't understand the point your making here? Depends on what Tetris version I am playing vs Xbox 360 version of RE4.

Man, it's not complicated. What games do you love that are flawed? What would you give a ten rating...PERSONALLY.

Er, I have to take issue with your "Journalist and Personal are the same thing"

Still, your favourite version of Tetris vs your favourite version of RE4? Up to you. Which is better?

That's the point I'm making. I can't give a game 10/10 because I'd be lying to myself.
For example:
Skyrim is a 10/10. It's perfect.
But <- the keyword
there are those Bethesda glitches of corrupted, saves, dancing spiders and the combat isn't as fined tuned.

You have to be honest, and you've clearly shown that in your first post. It's one of those Oxymoron titles.
10/10 games............. that are flawed

My favourite version of Tetris would be Tetris DS (2006) vs RE4 Xbox 360(2011)
Why? Resident Evil 4 left far more of an impact on me personally. Great controls. Love the soundtrack. Great (slightly cheesy) dialogue. Amazing locations and set pieces. Still had the level of "shit brix around corners". Creative enemy design. Took itself a lot more seriously. Led the way for 3rd person shooters. Likable characters. Lots of replay-ablity with the campaign and added unlock modes (Mercs, Adas Mission, Separate Ways) making it worth you money, in game challenges, exciting for speed running. That's just a basic bullet point-ing of the what's good about it. So much more to say about it. But it'd be lengthy post.

Comparing against Tetris is easy really. Tetris DS is amazing but it's not one of my favourites.
