This is what I've noticed with Gamespot's reviews. They always give too high of a score for graphics but overall low scores for good games, and unusually high scores for some crappy games. Gamespot is far more inconsitent with their reviews than ign is. Case in point: Cubivore.
It gets a 5 for gameplay, and an 8 for graphics. But overall it gets a 7.3. Hello? The gameplay get a 5 yet it gets a 7.3 overall? How fucked up is that? And would like you to see the amazing graphics of this game that Gamespot actually scored one point higher than Skies of Arcadia?? Here you go:
