Game Informer Nov 2005 Reviews

Really excellent issue cover page is the new superman by EA (looks incredible), TGS, and Xbox 360. A little OTT while I was reading this I saw the Mario DDR commercial and it is hilarious. Finally the reviews

How is Castlevania: DoS game of the month with a 9.25 if RE4 got a 10?

My highlight of the issue is the Disgaea 2 preview

They have a thing about giving games that award twice. same thing happened with Ninja Gaiden Black last issue.

6.25 for Digital Devil Saga 2?

Seems kind of low, but I didn't really think it was a game that Game Informer would "get" anyways... they seem to have really odd tastes when it comes to RPG's. I mean, 9.25 for Radiata Stories?

It's too bad about the scores that Nightmare Before Christmas is getting. I guess I'll wait for a price drop or two.

They try not to give the Game of the Month award to ports or expansions (or Madden).
