The article is about how EA is trying to manipulate the market so only reviewers that EA believes are going to give favorable reviews are allowed early access to the game thus affecting the early metacritic score.
Now that you know that you should assume that the early metacritic score will be significantly higher than the actual score when the other reviewers get their hands on the game.
What metacritic does is take averages of scores across different review...

The metacritic score is for the PC version.
It will be interesting to see what the console score is.
The funniest comment I've seen from an xbox 360 user about uncharted 2 is they thought the game was stupid because it had so many cut scenes.
They mentioned scenes like a truck chasing the player in a narrow ally way, or the helicopter fight.
It was pointed out by ps3 users that those weren't cut scenes that's just what the game looks like but the xbox 360 user wouldn't believe them.
Letros, you convinced me!
After all, it wouldn't make sense to listen to the game companies that have said they are delaying PC versions of their games because of piracy just because they did it!
It's pure coincidence that ubisoft delayed the following games for the PC:
Assassin's Creed
Assassin's Creed 2
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
Call of Juarez: The Cartel
Dark Messiah: Might & Magi...
Most weapons scale with stats.
If you look at the damage for a weapon you will see a +number beside it. That's your stats damage bonus.
If you look at the detail page for the weapon it shows a few letter grades by some icons. Those letter grades show how good the stat bonus is for each stat. The grades are om a,b,c,d,e with 'a' being the best.
On the ps3 you can press select for details on what the icons are. If you're on an...
My comment is relevant.
Piracy rates on the PC are so high that some companies intentionally delay PC releases for fear that it will cannibalize console sales.

Piracy rates are lower for consoles than for PCs.
Q. 60fps or Higher Resolution Textures?
A. I chose fun.
A bad game at 60fps with high res textures is still a bad game.
*spoilers*
I had something similar happen but I assumed it was related to a summoned player freeing him. Did you summon another player in the section? Are you sure they didn't open the door and let him out?
I find the frame rate in blighttown to be awful.
Are you playing online? A few times I've had the frame rate drop with multiplayer. Maybe blighttown is fine offline.
DRM screws gamers who legally purchased a game again.
The Elder Scrolls isn't even the first game to use the word scrolls in it's name.
The Magnetic Scrolls Collection is the earliest game I could find with the word scrolls in it but that doesn't mean it's the first.
This game is #1!

It's more difficult than winning an argument with a woman during monthlies ... but not as dangerous!!!
The only game on the list I haven't played is Siren: Blood Curse.

I wonder if the company "Magnetic Scrolls" will sue Bethesda for using the word "scrolls" in their game name?!
