This is getting silly now. Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption has clocked up a 10/10 review in the UK's Official PlayStation Magazine.
That follows a 9.75/10 review in US mag Game Informer - and a very wholesome 9/10 in GameTM. Red Dead Redemption for Game Of The Year, anyone?
OPM praises every aspect of Rockstar's sweeping Western in its review. It applauds the 'excellent voice acting', the 'moving cinematic' and 'glorious rendering of cowboy country'.
There's also a 'perfectly pitched soundtrack' and a story with a 'unique mood' - while the ever-present side-missions leave it 'up to you and your calcified conscience how to respond'.
The only slight criticism comes with the 'slightly repetitive clusters' in which you 'protect this wagon, repel these bandits, protect this stagecoach and so on'.
But this is a minute grumble in a four-page bonanza of triumphant noises - featuring mouth-watering art and game facts.
