In the spirit of fairness, you really should post Lair reviews as well.

Big deal. The same places gave Gheylo 2 almost the exact same reviews
and ratings. And Gheylo2 had to be one of the worst FPS games ever.
All these ratings prove is how susceptible so-called game reviewers
are to pay-offs and bribes from Micro$hit. It is almost surreal that
this scenario is playing itself out just like it did in 2001 and 2004
and now 2007. The xflop is one fricking bizarre event in console video
game history, essentially being a one-game box for almost 7 years. And
there is this small idiot group that has grown old playing that one
game over and over, with the same redundant repeating level maps, over
and over and over. And just like before, there will be a blip in xflop
hardware sales for a month or so, then the sales will flatten and go
stagnant in the third year due to lack of games while the Playstation
powerhouses come to market. For example, Haze is just so much better
graphically and technologically superior to Gheylo. At least this is
the end of this idiotic Gheylo generation.

Gheylo 2 game ratings 95%

97 Metacritic, Bliggy. GameRankings gets reviews from the scrub,
second tier sites.

For comparison, only Half-Life 2 has a higher metacritic (98).

Wow Blig Merk is right on something, Haze.

You watch the reviews Haze gets, even though it is graphically better and
the game play looks awesome, it will score lower than Halo3. If that
happens, I will never look at a game review again because they will be
bullshit.

Well, after watching the the HD example of Haze for the PS3 (over 6 minutes
long) on IGN, I say it does look really nice. I did notice there wasn't very
much in the way of physics in that example, and some slight stuttering
(framerate issues) in certain hectic scenes (noticable at the end where the
helicopter comes in). I won't compare anything to Halo, as Halo is Halo.
Halo has alway had great textures and enviroments, but not in the way of
being realistic looking in the sense as a typical war game, etc. I'll see H3
when it comes out to see how it stands up to its predecessors. But if it has
realistic scenes, then I'll comment further.

Personally, the best graphical game I've played is GRAW (either one) and
COD3 really looked great (though the gameplay was linear as fuck and
frustrating on the hardest setting). I'd say GRAW looks as good as Haze only
with better explosions and physics just going by that example of Haze I just
saw. I cannot wait for COD4, and I wonder how Haze will look on the 360.

Anyway, if Haze plays like the video example and the stuff you can do and
the weapons as seen in that example, that would easily be a 9+. Weapons and
gameplay make a great game and you need weapons, though I am admittedly a
graphics whore (to an extent).

Blig, I have to admire you. It's amazing that a human being could be
so delusional and yet still be able to type in coherant sentences.
