IGN gives skyward sword a higher review?

Learn not to take the score at face value. IGN gave Uncharted 3 a 10 overall with 10s across the board in all categories, but Skyward Sword with a 10 overall got a 9 in Sound. What's the difference between the two? You can't tell just by looking at the overall score. When IGN said Dark Souls was going to be a "Skyrim killer" I didn't get my boxer briefs all up in a knot because it's opinion, and the games are much different. I don't think Dark Souls made anyone who was set on buying Skyrim buy Dark Souls instead (though they may have bought both, I eventually will). I usually use game review sites only as an indication of whether a game might be good or not. Nier got terrible reviews but from what I've read by individuals, it seems like it will be worth a try, albeit at a reduced price.

Zelda titles can do no wrong in reviewers eyes.

MW3 junkies, they're doing it to any game they perceive as a threat.

If you care what other people think of games then you'll be happy to know that I rated Skyward Sword at a 0 because I don't care about it. Considering there are no degrees for game journalism, I'm no less qualified than IGN.

I'm not playing either game, but I believe the Zelda score more than the Uncharted one. Uncharted is just something I have to agree to disagree with. I was the same with the Metal Gears and Final Fantasy's 7+. I don't understand cut scene gaming.
