Yet another average launch title. I really wonder what the first game that isn't possible on older consoles (bar major compromises) will be.
You know 7/10 is above average, right?

You're clearly new to video game reviews.

I was being facetious :P

Edit: I actually disagree with the sentiment that 7/10 games are average by reviewers' standards though. I've played many games that are rated 6 and 7 out of 10 that are very good. ZombiU is one of them, actually, as I loved it and another of those "oh let's pick on the "average" launch title" games.

The Xbox One can be used to connect to any other console via HDMI. I'm on mobile now but I read the article on Kotaku about it. So you can flip between the PS4 and the Xbox if you want. Pretty funny actually.

I thought most game reviewer scales were like this

10: Amazing
9: Great
8: Good
1 - 7: Pile of shit

that XBO into XBO makes me feel that the system after sometime will break itself and malfunction.

As for the 7/10 game reviews, I think I understand why many do no accept the 7 ratings. its because most games rated 7 are usually games that are supposed to be good but they have some kind of serious issue the ruins the gameplay. Sometimes its too much repetitive tasks, sometimes camera angles , maybe it is unbalanced... if it was not, why would any one not give it an 8?

It got 7's, 8's, and 9's depending on where you look. Forza isn't really a game I'd pick on if you're going to trash the launch lineups of these consoles. It'd be pretty hard to eff up that series and it doesn't sound like they've done it here. Knack didn't score well and Ryse looks incredibly blah other than decent next gen graphics if you want some far easier targets.

Ryse isn't looking too hot either. And what is it with microtransactions?

After the borefuck that was Crysis 3, Crytek should stick to making engines to license to better developers.

It looks really good in white. I don't understand why they don't offer that option. It's been a successful model for other companies to let you choose your color.
