Alpha Centauri's score of 98%, which I think PCGamer's staff is regretting (97 or 96 maybe, but 98?), has now been tied.

That should SO be the only advert they need for it.

At it will look very much like Doomaniac's contribution to <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=42224' target='_blank'>this thread</a>.
That's a great idea... Now I need to find something that would work on getting ATi to release more XT PEs.
I wants it..

As for HL2: Wouldn't require the use of a supercomputer to calculate a score that low? Or would we simply round it off to -∞?
And ATI: Bah. If you're lucky enough to be able to find one, just buy a VIVO X800Pro (such as Sapphire's Toxic) and softmod it. *scuttles off to find an X800XT PE since you can't seem to get VIVO Pro's in Canada*
Edit: checked the reviews DB on the CD, apparently it was a 97%. Should have split the difference.
Roofles. I forgot I made that. Thanks for digging it up. :D

I don't know, it's only about -375/-380%

And once more I thank you for that thread, and funny image on the first post. Although it should be changed to the new release date, whenever that arrives.
Or do we all like to know that this game is a 98% rather than a 95%? Jesus.

I think that post was 97% insightful, but only 50% enjoyable, making it a 74% post.
It probably feels like having MonsE come over to your house to say "You know, for a teenangster, you're okay, kiddo. You're okay."
Like warm apple pie.

I think a game's prowess should be measured by Bob Hoskins' physique.
Pardon? If your post were a game, you say? I think an image would portray its beauty best.

Genius. I can't wait to shove my raving fanboy tongue into their output port quick enough.
I'll wait to see just how flexible the interaction is between players and environment first. If it's just a slightly improved set of func_breakables (as I suspect it might be) plus a few physics enhancements, then I'm sorry, but the 6 year wait has hardly been worth it.
I take heart in knowing that just about everyone who topples the ivory pillar Half Life 2 sits on will still be loading up their copy after beating off every other nerd in the area at the local Best Buy when it comes out.

Whoa, slow down. Subtracting 1%? That's like, advanced calculus mathematics there.

When have they upped a review for those reasons? I've never once disagreed with their percentages, and frankly, enjoy their stuff a lot. Oh, and they do things to please larger advertisers? Is that why every EA sports game to come out in the last 2-4 years has gotten 60-78%, despite everyone else in the world going "OMG LEWK!" at it? Or why they willingly bashed another of EA's titles, Spearhead for MoH:AA? Or why Black & White didn't get its big thing, nor The Sims Online? Give me some proof of them upping it for no reason.
...and if ANY of you bring up the DOOM 3 review, I'm going to strangle you. Unlike many of you, they played the game for what it was- a horror game. It WASN'T an action game, and if it didn't scare you, then fine. But its sure as hell the scariest game out there on the market right now.
