Bah, he rated both Crysis and World in Conflict as 9.5's.
World in Conflict was, and is, fantastic. You can't really expect less in an RTT from the makers of Ground Control. I don't know about Crysis though - haven't played it
World in Conflict was a very polished and complete RTS, it deserves a rating above SoaSE. While I still enjoy and will always load SoaSE over WiC I'd still stand by it needing more polish on the level of a triple A title like WiC before I'd say it deserves a near perfect score.
At least this way the Ironclad & Stardock team have something to shoot for with their next expansion or sequel.
How Crysis got a 9.5.. that I don't understand.
