Who cares about reviews? If you enjoy the game, then thats what matters most.

Sony does not even want to pay out money to bring back BC ...I doubt they will pay every reviewer money to give their exclusives good scores.

well they did fire some reviewer (forgot the name) because eidos bribed them, and the reviewer still gave the game a bad score. or something like that.

it actually seems to be the opposite here at gs , it takes them at least a week longer to review multiplatform releases for the ps3

I have yet to play a PS3 exclusive that doesn't deserve the score it got from Gamespot.

Well, the one's I've heard were mostly 3rd party companies (like the Eidos incident). I've never really noticed Sony to be "money flaunters" unlike other companies throwing it away like water. People even complain about "Sony not paying devs for exclusives before M$". I highly doubt it.

i was being rhetorical, as this is a common question to show fanboyism or ignorance (which are often interchangeable :P)

it doesn't matter what systems they own, the real issue here is the "BS" that's coming out of their mouths :lol:

unless they can prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt, you shouldn't be buying their nonsense either...

I usually don't listen to reviews. If my opinion matches there review, great. If it doesn't, no big deal.

If that were anywhere close to true trust me, it'd be monopoly Microsoft paying for the good reviews before sony... just like they buy all their exclusives for millions... Still tho, your friends are ridiculous

sony isnt as rich and powerful as your friends think, microsoft however is. they just have no more excusses because of their cheezy 360 games.........uncharted for example got a average score of 9 from reviewers but gamespot gave it a 8.

Major $ advertising on GS is just a legal way to put out a bribe...And yes he got fired for giving the game a bad score. Yes he's the creator of giantbomb.com and yes they over rate shooters just just jeff did while he was here.
