A conspiracy perhaps?

Something is really bothering me about GameSpot as of late. They failed to review Dead Space for PS3 and still didn't review Bioshock for the PS3. What gives?

rumor has it they are baised lol, i dont care man, why do u really need their approval? both games for the ps3 are awesome, and i enjoy them both better on my ps3, weather they give it a 4 or 5 or even 6 outta 10, i dont need them to rate it or review it for me to get a game i want to get or enjoy, u should only come here for the forums to chat with friends and others, thats why im here. and get some info off others on related games other than that, i use my own judgement and review to decide if the game is good or bad.

Well it is important, its a professional gaming site. not a fan site. When you get paid to do something your a pro at that. Thus obligations come along with it. Thus you have to do it to a certain manner. And they cant let other manners get in the way. But, all these "look odd as of late" user reviews and product scores, payed sponsors, ratings, whats a legit contract, what not. All that is gonna burst open soon, and will have to be restructured everywhere on the net.

yea, i agree. as much as i dont care about reviews, isnt bad that u get paid to do something, but u only do it right for one system? and then they wonder why people call em baised? i mean if u got paid to review ps3, and 360 game/games would u have em for both, sometimes i see a game not even out yet and already has a 9.0 or higher on the other system while ps3 section is collecting dust lol (for those that care about the reviews that is) its just bad for them, they need to do somethin i guess

Yeah its almost clearly obvious. It doesn't mean much to only make one review for both versions cause they're basically the same (Dead Space) but isn't it a little weird that its ALWAYS the X360 version that has the review first? The PS3 is treated like yesterday's cheese.

I'm just sick of seeing Haze on word on the street. They never change that thing and its been there since the Haze review.

Edit: Well i guess they don't show that anymore lol.

They are not biased. Only reason people say they are is because of the incident with Jeff. Each platform has had it's fair share of games get criticized, each fanboy faction just tries to say that GameSpot is against them. Sure..because somehow they benefit from giving a game a poor rating. Most people don't even care about reviews, especially now since most games have demos and multiplayer games have betas which are easily accessible so it's not like they are swaying thousands of people into buying games for System A instead of System B.

Um, no. I've seen it WAY before that whole Jeff thing. I'm no "fanboy" and even I saw it. It was worse around launch time though.

There reviews aren't really "good". I think Gametrailers.com has the best reviews for games but unfortunately they aren't too often.

People are so sensitive about reviews these days. I've never found a game with no flaws. A reviewer's responsibility is to highlight the bad with the good, regardless of how insignificant an issue may seem to people who don't want to hear anything negative. And a negative review of a game is not a negative review of a console or console bashing.

It could be that they haven't received review copies of those games, yet. Or they may have just chosen not to review them. I could see them skipping a PS3 Bioshock review, but I don't understand the Dead Space one. It could be a glitch.

Whats weird is, they have the video review of Dead Space on the PS3 page, but not the text review (hence no score). I thought it was a glitch and contacted them, they returned my mail saying they haven't reviewed the title yet. Also Both games are out, I dont know why couldn't they just buy one in a store or something.

It could be MS paid the GS employers to delay the written review so that no one will get them. The review is really very important to game players. negative review = fail. People will onli listen to reviews and choose whether to purchase them unless there is a demo to convince individualy

But the guys are just doing their jobs .Even if the reviews or final rating can almost be disputed most of the time .
