I can't stand GameInformer because their love or hate for a property often will prevent them from giving an unbiased opinion on it.
EX: Enter the Matrix got 8.5, while the vastly improved DragonBall Z Budokai III they gave a 5.
They do good with news stories, but their reviews are just bad. They gave HaloII a ten. Yeah I know a lot of people did--but I find halo 2 almost universally over rated.
