PS3 is not getting either Halo 3 or BioShock -- both are Microsoft's exclusives.
The game is not even out yet, and most magazines have not even reviewed it yet.
Good, but not great - its overall review score is not in the 90%-100% range.
Metacritic - 84% based on 10 reviews:

GameRanking - 85% based on 9 reviews:

and one 10 and one 9.
It got 10 from one of the many Play magazines -- the same magazine that also gives Lair a 9; The next higher score for Lair is 7.5 from GamePro.
Here are the consensus...
Heavenly Sword's scores round-up - an average of 84% based on 10 reviews, or 85% based on 9 reviews:

And it's extremely unlikely that EPIC would piss off Microsoft by dropping UT3 for 360 and PC.
That's not a "cast" -- I think it's all CGI.
Edit: Nevermind, I've watched it again. It is live action.
As a reminder...
Eurogamer gave 10/10 to BioShock: http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...
GamePro gave 5/5 to BioShock: http://www.gamepro.com/micr...
and I'm sure GamePro *and* Eurogamer have given plenty of PlayStation games rave reviews in the past.
but you know as well as I do that they are critically acclaimed series.
For your reference:
Gran Turismo 4 has gotten an average/overall review score of 89% based on 74 magazine reviwes: http://www.metacritic.com/g...
Final Fantasy XII, 92% on based on 63 magazine reviews:
PS3 games should be hold to a much higher standard because it's expensive. You should expect more when you pay more.
You would not hold the same standard for games on DS or PSP as you would for 360 or Wii, would you?
And it's obvious that reviewers do not hold the same standard for Wii and 360/PS3 games, because so far Metroid Prime 3: Corruption has gotten spectacular reviews even though its graphic is not exactly "next gen". That kind of graphic wo...
I would say LittleBigPlanet is another strong contender... if it is still on track to come out this year at around Christmas.
"the UK magazine had in fact given a 5 out of 5 to Halo 3..."
Keywords: ... "in a PREVIEW of the pre-release, FINAL BUILD of the game."
Now that's a REALLY good trailer.
The title and the descriptions of this news are contradictory.
If we only report and approve only positive news for Lair, that will give people the wrong impression that Lair is getting only good reviews and good scores, which is completely untrue.
If that happens, N4G will be doing a disservice to readers who are thinking about buying this game or PS3 based on this game -- because they will be deceived into reading ONLY good reviews and thinking that this game is good and worth the money when it really is not.
The 1UP review is also coming out, and it's saying pretty much the same thing; 1UP gives Lair a sympathetic 6.0 out of 10. However, the submission for that review has gotten pulled for some reason.

I don't know how the school system work in your country, but over here:
A = 90% and above (BioShock, Gears of War, Oblivion, Metroid Prime 3, Twilight Princess -- the "must have" or "9 out of 10 people would love it, but 1 weirdo would hate it" category; considered as "killer app" or "system seller" if it's an exclusive; PS3 currently does not have a single exclusive in this category.)
B = 80%~89% (Dead Rising, The Darknes...
