Meteos-US boxart

Meteos got 9/10 in gamestm, I think Lumines got an 8/10. Would seem that Meteos is the better game. I would assume the extra 1/10 is down to the touch screen which apparantly adds significantly to the gameplay experience.

I like Lumines it's a good game, but the problem is that people are touting it as an unsurpassed piece of gaming genius, so careful not to be sucked into the hype as you might be disappointed when you finally play it.

Hmmm, I wonder if you'd still have that view if Lumines was on the DS, and Meteos on the PSP.

Meteos average 80%

Lumines 90%

Come on. The Meteos average consists of ONE review. Not only that, it was 1UP's review. 1UP is consistantly above the average for PSP games, and below the average for DS games. They hate the DS. Hell they gave Yoshi's Touch and Go a fucking 65%.

Reviews are totally personal, but unlike many ther magazine Famitsu uses 4 peoples opinions. This makes it MUCH more representative of the thoughts of genuine gamers than other reviews.

Ive heard Meteos is better, but that Lumines is stil great. I reckon Lumines is suffering from 'PSP glow' (people are so happy with their psp they rate games higher than their real value) much as some games had 'DS glow' at its launch time.
