If PC games are so much better than console games...

then why do they seem to score the same or lower?

Gears of War

PC 9.0 X360 9.6

Dirt

PC 8.3 PS3 8.5

Halo 2

PC 7.0 Xbox 9.4

Halo

PC 9.0 Xbox 9.7

Because they either:

1. are released later; or

2. I don't know.

Because those are all Console to PC ports. Games made exclusively for the PC fare better.

1. Many sites are biased towards consoles.

2. Many console games hitting PCs are ports (rather than genuine multiplat titles), and they're often handed off to mediocre developers who can't do a good job with the game.

3. Many console to PC ports come some time later, and have arguably aged (I was just looking at Jade Empire today - according to GameSpot, with the space of a year, the combat mechanics had shown their age).

Umm, Pc gamers have higher standarrds, For instance Gear of War is crap. Comparing different reviews on different platforms and different reviewers is pointless. Not to mention, I can post some reviews showing the opposite. Notice that despite the lower score, all reviews say Gears PC was the best verison? It was aslo a year late. PC gamers have higher standards and competition.

half Life 2 = 9.5 0n Pc, much lower on consoles.

quake 4 was terrible on console, much lower scopre, as was dark messiah.

pathetic ignorant post.

what was your point troll only to show your stupidity?

Because the score are relative to the competition on that system.

A game can score 10 on the DS, 9 on the 360 and 8 on the PC...and it would be prolly better on the PC, then on the 360 and the least interesting version would be on the DS.

It's all boils down to the competition for the system. It is easier to make a "good game" when the competition is weaker.
