Journalist and Personal are the same thing though. I could rate Ocarina of Time 10/10 but note the flaws, therefore it would void the 10/10 essentially because it isn't perfect. Sorry if I'm killing your thread, but I have no idea how it works.

So have you never had that feeling of "this is the best game ever" just because of how much you loved it, yet noted that it has flaws? Out of interest, are there any 10/10 games in your personal opinion?

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.
