Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu recently gave out scores on today's hottest titles. Four reviewers would score a game on a scale to 10, with 10 being the highest. With a score of 10, 10, 9, 10, Grand Theft Auto 4 (PS3, Xbox 360) tops the charts, slightly edging LittleBigPlanet, which scored 10, 10, 9, 9.

Here's how the other games fared:

• Cid and Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon: Maze of Time DS - 8, 8, 8, 8
• Vitamin Y - 6, 6, 6, 7
• Precure 5 - 7, 6, 6, 5
• Aralechan - 4, 5, 4, 4
• Valkyrie Profile: The Accused One - 8, 8, 8, 8
• Avalon Code - 7, 8, 7, 8
• Boku to Simu no Machi - 7, 8, 7, 7
• Bokujou Monogatari - 7, 8, 7, 7
• Fracture (Xbox 360, PS3) 7, 8, 7, 6
• Thunderforce 6 - 7, 7, 6, 6

It's quite remarkable that no game on that list even scored a 9. It seems that GTA4 and LittleBigPlanet stand out as today's hottest titles - at least for Japan. Maybe we can see more of LittleBigPlanet as soon as the recall controversy dies down, but hats off to GTA for another great title.
