I’m not going to make some kind of wild and insane statement like ‘I’m getting back into video games’ because that’s the kind of thing that is never definite. However, I have accomplished something today that I don’t believe I ever have in a game, and I’ve got time as well as interest in other games as well. Because I didn’t want to clutter an upcoming review with talk about video games in general, I’m making this post instead.
Almost as long as I’ve been writing, I’ve been writing reviews. My current play-through of Pokemon Red led me to look at some old reviews I did for GameFAQs about 4 years ago, and I had a revelation. I looked at my review of Ratchet and Clank Going Commando, which I was calling ‘the greatest game ever made’ at the time, and noticed that in spite of it’s stats I had specifically not given the game a 10, but a 9.6. I realized that this is something I still do, not giving even my favorite anime a perfect score (though Eureka Seven has a 9.9) not because I think another show could be better so much as that even in my purely subjective opinion of the show, there are still little things that bother me that I can’t hand it a 10 even if it’s the best show ever.
