There was a huge scandal over GI with their 7.5 rating to Paper Mario 2, after which the guy that wrote the review had a tantrum on the boards and outright said that he scored the game that way because "GI scores games based on what the READER SHOULD THINK."<BR/><BR/>Anyway, excellent article. :) Wish I could write my own, but... yanno, ethics and junk. ;)M.
