I'm fed up of this nonsense from Gamespot I pay these guys and they kick me hard!

"2K Games tasks studio behind PS3 port of original underwater shooter..." http://www.gamespot.com/news/6209386.html

Gamespot knows that Bioshock wasn't a PS3 port it was built from scratch and if you compared both versions you will see the PS3 has better graphics and great controls! not to mention extra DLC! But still they try to make the PS3 look bad!

P.S. I hope Gamespot doesn't take this discussion down I'll be gone for good if that happens.

Edit: Please do not talk about the apparent bias there may be in GS. There isn't. A message from the mods.

I would understand your criticism towards gamespot IF you actual used an example of blatant Bias. The use of port to me does not show any bias at all...even if built up from the ground the use of port is easily acceptable in this situation, especially when the article does not focus on the PS3 version of bioshock at all. The focus of the thread was that the multiplayer is being done by a different dev team and that is all.

you are infantile enough to see this a console war then go ahead but this is more about Gamespot been to much biased towards a console I don't own!

I think you should do that.

I mean, I can think of so many things I'd rather be spending my money on than a video game site.

If you are a smart person and I'm not saying you aren't "ports" generally does not help promoting a game! "ports" normally is seen as a negative word in gaming world!

I agree, paying to use a game site is a total waste of money. Besides everyone knows that the folks at Gamespot are Xbots in disguise. It really isn't a secret.

It's the way a lot of internet sites are these days. Blame the dirty fud tactics. Gamespot is a joke and it's etched in stone.

Paying for an account...? Seriously? You pay money to......change the colour of your display name...?

There is without a doubt bias on this site. Go make a RROD story in System Wars forum and see how long it take for it to get locked. Then make a broken PS3 thread and see how long it lasts, it will last a couple days and be fifty pages before it gets locked.

Eh, almost every critic can be biased. The only problem i have with GS are their reviews. I stay away from GS game reviews. Reviews aren't very accurate and give some games more than the game deserves. I wasted alot of money on crap games like resident evil 5, gears of war 2, rockband 2 (the horror i bought the bundle, waste of 180$), and well... plenty of other games. But GS does a great job on the news and E3 coverage! Keep up the good work on onthespot, e3 coverage, and the news section!

I definitely think they used to favor 360, but I haven't seen them do it for awhile. It was kind of how it was last gen when all you would really hear about was the PS2, because that was the top system. Now that the tides are changing, I think they're giving the PS3 credit that it deserves.

Yeah, Xbox bias is totally why MGS4 got a 10. Or why only one 360 game got a 9 last year. Or why Halo Wars got a 6.5.

In all honesty its not about how bias a website is, is about how much money is under the table for a good review and things flip flop around both sides of the court its not one sided its business as usual , so i would not accuse gamespot of being Biased at all , and in some instances reviews will be fair you need to be open minded from a business standpoint and not criticize Gamestop blindly.

Although I do not think GS favors one platform or another, I would not count on themfor their reviews alone. If you rely on reviews to help you make up your mind on which games to play, Metacritic is a better choice because they give you a large number of opinions.
