The thought that Gamespot doesn't like Nintendo is ludicrious. By the way, Gamespot wasn't the only game review site that gave Mario Party 8 a bad score.

I wonder if people are going to ever stop bringing up the Twilight Princess score... 8.8 is a great score. They gave a great game a great score.

i dont listen to what reviewers on websites say or even the people that post, if we went by what Gamespot and IGN said we would all have 360s and PS3 and Wii would be a drop in the bucket

So now they hate the PS3 AND the Wii.  Then Halo on  PC gets a 7.0, they must hate Halo now too right?  It must not be that Mario Party 8 is almost identically underwhelming as the previous SEVEN versions.  No, that's just crazy.

Low scores are good.  It takes a lot of talent to make a truly lousy game or movie.

So because it didn't get a 9.0 a 8.8 is a bad score?  The difference is 0.2 which is practically NOTHING.

if gamespot is anti-nintendo, then how come ocarina of time has 10/10 and is the only game on gamespot (i think) that has a perfect score, maybe it is just because ocarina of time is an awsome game, but if they realy dont like nintendo, they wudnt give a perfect score. and i beleive gamespot is rating the wii with the same standards in graphics and such ans 360 and ps3 so, its just gettin bad reviews because its not the worlds best looking game

Are these ridiculous topics going to happen every time a game falls short of the fan hype?

Maybe- just maybe- the game isn't very good, these people don't really care what system it's on, you're looking too hard for 'teh bias' because you have a vested interest in defending the console, and, uh, the game isn't very good?

Nah, that can't be it.  Must be a conspiracy.

The other consoles outhere don't do any better. 

AND YEAH, Mario Party 8 SUCKED. They had the chance to change the formula, upgrade graphics, AT LEAST MAKE IT WIDESCREEN. But ffs they actually made the game with bars on a widescreen tv. The graphics are gamecube quality and the Wii is much more capable and the mini games are just recicles. That's really lousy developing and they deserve a 4.

Not bashing the Wii, and not trying to say the Wii sucks or start any type of System Wars type of post, but right now it's just true.  A lot of devs are cashing in on how well the Wii has sold with half baked games.  It's been said so much, but it really is true.  I love my Wii, and the games I have.  I'm just getting sick of not having any good games coming out for a while.

 I'm not saying you are wrong though. You are absolutley right. I was just pointing out that the other consoles are in the same boat. Video games are slowly becoming like hollywood. This days anybody can just throw a game outthere just like a movie. But again, just be patient. No system gets a AA game every 3 months :) Well, the DS does. But it didn't at the begginning! and the Wii is going just the way the DS did. :D So it's a bright future.
