i think its a 10 from BOTH! Mk Is cool!

I don't know about IGN, but Gamespot tends to underrate games. For example, they gave True Crime: Streets of L.A. a measly 7.2. It deserved a LOT more than that. True Crime is a GREAT game with a nice soundtrack. Another example: Doom 3 got an 8.5, I believe. I haven't played Doom 3, but it definitely looks like a winner to me. MKDA only got an 8.0, which is a horrible score when you look at MK. Gamespot has some VERY TOUGH critics, and I have a gut feeling MKD will be in the 7-8 range.

well....we're also forgetting the fact that midway has thrown more bones to ign then they have gamespot....fatality friday, bio's, things like that...gamespot will naturally be pissed about that and it will influence the score....

Everything I've read or watched from GS shows them all being impressed by the game. I think they are genuinely excited. I predict at least a 9.0 from both IGN and GS.
