FWIW - one thing to remember when people say "A score like that from Gamespot" is that most reviews such as that one are written by freelancers. For example, I write for Computer Gaming World, Computer Games Magazine, Gamespot, and Gamespy. So any single review is the opinion of that particular writer - had someone else reviewed Korsun Pocket, it may have gotten a lower score (but not if anyone with a wargaming background had written it. ;) ) or a higher score. Point is that it's hard to lump all reviews in a site into one generalization - they're made up of a bunch of individual writers with very different backgrounds and tastes.

That said - it IS hard to get a score much higher than that for a wargame - scores in the 9.0+ range are typically held for games such as Half Life or GTA:Vice City, etc.
