My friend sent me a link to this story about gamespots graphic comparison feature and that they accualy gave the xbox 360 a unfair advantage on the madden page.

http://n4g.com/News-27058.aspx

In one paragraph it says that gamespot did not set the ps3 to 4:15 daytime time so that the shadows on the ps3 picture did not appear and only appeard in the 360 pic and then noting in the paragraph that the shadows did not appear.

Read the story and tell me your opinon.

That graphic comparison was complete BS.   Fight Night and Madden both look better on the ps3.    Thank you to N4G  for calling out gamespot.

Well if there is proof to the graphics better and GS rates the graphics lower I suppose that is biased.

lol, I remember when a guy over at PSU called them on that, and sent an email to Gamespot, which instead of changing the images accordingly, just put a small text insert into the paragraph above it.

I noticed this quite a while ago. KZ deserved at least a 7.5, and Halo 2 got a much higher score than it should've.

Halo 2 is fun, and i enjoyed it. And i didnt enjoy Killzone. But i also think Gamespot liked the ps2, they arent Sony Discrimanative, just the PS3. They cant get anough of okami bully and God of war.

Oh come on people. Like everyone of us knows, GS is not biased. It's just that most of fanboys can't handle the fact, that their own system isn't superior to the others in every way :/

Well, you guys still aren't as bad as Nintendo fans :) I still have nightmares about that Twilight Princess review...

When they reviewed Gears of War they said a couple of negative things about the game, but it still got like  a 9.6. R:FOM had like one negative that they pointed out and it recieved a 8.6. Hopefully when more PS3 game come out, I hope one game gets at least a 9 or higher.

Actually people did. xbox enthusiasts were always with the "oh come on what the crazy conspiracy theories :roll:" It been kinda obvious for the past 2 years now an it's been getting progressively worst too. Shame really, this used to be the best site for reliable info.

Almost all of my moderations are hilarious, I read them for fun.

Got points taken away for claiming that 1080p was significantly better than 1080i, and that anyone who didn't know the difference was a moron.

I don't care about the scoring process, because I actually agree with the scores. It's the fact that they said the 360 games looked better, when in fact they looked exactly the same, or better. And then the other thing that pissed me off was the fact that they had no Game for PS3 a higly anticipated game of 2007. C'mon.... Motorstorm, Killzone 2, MGS4, DMC4, the list goes on and on.

Actually, the best was when I got modded for saying "I don't understand why people refuse to accept that Sony actually brought a competent handheld to the market that has actually challeneged Nintendo."

Got so many laughs out of that, and how I got modded for "trolling" because I posted a concept for a PSP Resident Evil game on April Fools.

:D

Don't get me wrong people. I hate every single fanboy on this earth. Every_single_one_of_them.
The most lowest life form on earth, fanboy. Fact.
I just find Nintendo fans most worst, everytime when N-game doesn't get over 9, they cry and cry and cry and cry...

But no, GS is not biased. You are just making stuff from your head to "protect" the allmighty PS3.
PS3 has it's faults, Xbox 360 has it's faults, and Wii has it's faults.
We need to just live with it.

Lol, I'm glad somebody had the balls to repost this thread.  Let 'em close it again, we should just keep reopening it then.  They are biased I don't care what other fanboys say.  Of course 360/Wii fanboys don't think so, it's always good news for them, never for Sony.  Slanderous news, no good news, rhetorical statements, screwed-up comparisons, bans just for saying they are Anti-Sony...

Well, i wouldn't consider the Zelda: TP review biased. I just think Jeff is a crappy reviewer. Honestly, he gave the WInd Waker a 9.2. WTF?!? What, were the puzzles in TP too hard for his tiny little brain? WW had some of the simplest puzzles, hell, i wouldn't even call them puzzles.

I really don't know, maybe it was because I posted it in a topic in the PSP boards back when the Nintendo fans were invading it?

Or maybe it was the fact that I claimed that Alex Navarro was completely wrong in his "Year in Review" article about PSP.
