Pandora's Tower Review
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but swords and chains excite me. Should you climb the towers in Xseed's JRPG/adventure hybrid to save your cursed (and tragically whiny) girlfriend?

What do these ratings mean?

I guess this is why I continue to read the reviews on GR.  This is the first site I've seen that hasn't jumped all over GTA 4's nuts, saying things like "definitely game of the year".   I could see saying that if it were say, October 2001 and we were all playing GTA 3 for the first time.  It's about time someone mentioned that, um... this is about 95% the same as San Andreas.  Now it has a multiplayer mode that I won't play because the combat controls still blow, woohoo.  Don't get me wrong, it's a very cool game and I will definitely be wasting quite a few hours of my life playing it, but it's not going to revolutionize anything in the game industry.
