So if all the wii game rattings gamespot gave were added up and divided by the amount (average), what do you think the final score be?

I think it would be about 6.0 - 7.0 or something. Some games deserved better scores.

What are your thoughts and predictions?

I think it would be about a 7.1, but I don't pay attention to anything on Gamespot. The only reason I'm here is for the forums and to get/give news :P

IGN is definitely better, but they need to get a little tougher. Gamespot is just ridiculously inconsistent. Though gametrailers isn't that respected, they are the review site whos reviews fall most in line with my opinions.

i I really want a review I like gamerankings since that averages a bunch of sources together. But I don't pay attention too much to ratings, even though I do look at em and are interested in them.

Yea they suck at reviewing since they gave poor scores to some games... Did you ever think that maybe the games just suck.

Usually gamespot giving games low scores (even though they get low scores almost everywhere else) is the only reason why people say they don't like the gamespot reviews.

If all the game ratings were averaged out, we will never see an odd-numbered decimal score i.e. 6.5, 8.3, or 9.1

I hope it does not average out since if a game does well on a single category, it might cause the game to be overrated

If GS gave higher ratings than IGN, you would come here for your reviews. Heh.

I couldn't trust IGN's reviews as far as I could throw them. Gamespot is harsh but fair in my opinion, don't always agree but nobody does with anything.

With the Virtual Console games like Mario 64 and Zelda OOT and Super Mario World they should be a  lot higher. IGN gives them bigger scores like they gave Zelda OOT a 10 and Link to the Past a 9.5 and Mario 64 a 9 out of 10. I have played Super Mario Wolrd on it and it feels great to play.
