EGM's triple 10's

The latest EGM gave GTA:SA and Halo2 all 10's which made me wonder. Does anyone know other games that have gotten three 10s as a score?

I think Phantasy Star 2 for Genesis got quadruple 10s. There might have been a 9.5 in there, though.

Zelda, Ocarina of Time
Zelda: Majora's Mask
Halo: Combat Evolved
Soul Calibur
Metroid Prime
Gran Turismo 3: A-spec

Of course, it all depends on who was reviewing at the time...

One quote from the MGS3 review which made it lose all credibility to me (not that it had much to begin with) was:

"no other game has ever come close to matching MGS2's spot-on stealth action (sorry Splinter Cell, but no)..."

Is this guy really saying that MGS2 had the same level stealth action as SC?? I know it's an opinion, but I fell SC outdid MGS2 in every aspect of the game by far. I'll still be buying MGS3 cause I know it's going to be a good game, I just will think even less of EGM reviews than I do now from now on.

Monaco GP on the Genesis was also a three tenner. I loved that game.

I've lost ALL resepct I've ever had for EGM now.

The fact that they rated Super Metroid Best Game of All Time no longer counts in my eyes now.

I thought there were a lot of people who didn't think chrono cross was all that great... they may have been blinded by the nostalgia of chrono trigger, though. I, myself, thought it was a good rpg, though it had been so long since I had played Chrono Trigger that the plot points linking the two didn't make much sense to me.
