You just don't get it, do you? No one here gives a damn about the numbers corporate-sponsored organizations tack on to the retail packaging.

SWEIN, advertising equals score inflation to keep interests to get more advertising to make more money, do you comprehend?

Actually yeah, that's probably about right. Though I'm quite stoned as to how its lowest score is a 90% when other games have ultra-low lowest scores that are still labeled as great games by most people (ex. Metal Gear Solid's 40%, Super Smash Bros. Melee's 50%, Final Fantasy XII's 40%, etc.)
IMO Civilization is the most overrated series of all time. Who the hey has time to play those games?

I do, because I don't spend all my time looking up game websites for their reviews and memorising every single one, then post it on CFC even when its completely irrelevant.

Pretty much. I only play around 2-4 hrs. when I sit down to play. (all day long once per week) But my games take me around a month or two to finish. Mostly because I play on maps larger than huge on marathon. I don't have to complete a game every time I sit down at my computer. I usually grow very attached to my current games because of this making losing even less desirable.
Shoot I think I have always had a "My current Civ game" since 1991-2 (When Civ 1 on SNES was released.) This is probably the only game franchise I can say that I have always had a game I was working on for the past 16 years. (At the expense of feeling old as hell, I have had a current civ game I was playing every day you have been alive Swein if you are 16 or younger...)

Yeah, even before I did that I couldn't understand. I mean, people are completing 24-hour sessions in 5 weeks? And I take 5 months do the same? Though, I must admit I was only playing on the weekends.
And Brawl is overrated by anyone who thinks it is perfect or the best game ever.

Brawl is the best game I have ever played. Closely followed by Counter Strike: Source.

that would have been my answer......because it's not great minds think alike, it's great minds answer, then others just agree......

Well, Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Twilight Princess both add important gameplay aspects to their series, but they are otherwise very similar to their GCN counterparts. Both games deserve only a 9.5/10, but no more. On the other hand, Super Mario Galaxy is the perfect fusion of old-school and new ideas. Easily a 10/10. Sure it has flaws, but I'm just doing it in increments of 0.5 (like Gamespot or PALGN). Not to mention Nintendo was aware of the flaws. They put in a second quest, just like Super Mario Bros. or The Legend of Zelda on the NES, and made sure you had your life count reset to 4 lives at the beginning of each session. Oh, and did we mention that it brings a lot of things that were lost in the Mario franchises' move to 3D? Fireballs, super mushrooms, even LUIGI (WTH at him not being in Mario 64 or Mario Sunshine), are back. And Luigi's playthrough in SMG is probably the closest thing we'll get to Luigi's own, PROPER, Super Mario Bros. game.
The only way somebody could like Brawl or TP more than SMG is because they prefer fighting games or action adventures to platformers (which is COMPLETELY feasible in this world).
