they are finding ways to give it a low rating. like uncharted... 8.0 because it was too hard. Halo 3 got a quick review but like a day later they posted how it wasn't really HD and ran at 640p that could of cost the game some points.

Then get a job at GS or another site and change things.

Using Halo 3 and Gears of War as examples doesn't make sense. Those were 2 of the most anticipated games of this year and last year, so having a prompt review makes sense. Uncharted was nowhere near as anticipated as those 2 games, so I don't see your point at all.

they do it to make all the babies on the forums cry about the supposed bias that GS has. it'd be really nice if the mods start banning all of them. If you don't like GS, then why are you here? last time i checked, there's quite a few other gaming sites out there.

They review PS3 games a little late so that they can play them fully and get the best unbiased opnions from there team of aces. Now back to shots on the beach in my Arizona home with my wife Jessica (she wants to keep her last name of Alba).

so your saying just because it's hyped it deserves a quick review? both of those games deserve their ratings but PS3 games are treated unfair at gamespot. uncharted(9.1) and ratchet(9.4) got better ratings at IGN

Yes if a game is highly anticipated it should be reviewed on time, or before release.

PS3 games are not treated unfair on GS, they are unfair to you, so now you side with IGN because they are more inline with your thoughts. So great, take both reviews into consideration, that's what a smart person does. I think IGN was too giving in their reviews of those games, but I think GS nailed Uncharted, but was off with R&C, but that is just an opinion.

You claiming bias is just stupid and childish. You even say in your first post that Uncharted is an awesome....I repeat awesome game, maybe not everyone will like it. So you are willing to admit that it may not be as special to some people as it is to you, but you claim bias when a site reviews it below your standards? Grow up.

hey man, don´t call people stupid. that was completely uncalled for.

GS overrates a lot of games, and underrates as well. but every site does that. there is no single perfect site for reviews and completely unbiased opinions. so you should grow up and try to be a little more mature when talking to other people.

I'm not saying Uncharted is a bad game but it did not have the hype surrounding like Halo 3 did.

Gamerboi27

UT3 is primarily an online game. how do you review an online game without other people have the game yet? the PS3 doesn't have something PartnerNet like the 360 for those with preview builds to play the game online.

i think there is more to it than just the amount of hype that gets it a quick review.

Halo 3 had a beta. this meant that once the review copy came out, the review really only had to hop online for a small amount of time (just to see what was adjusted) and to play the single player (10 hours at the most).

Gears of War also had a short campaign, and Epic demoed the multiplayer at every gaming event. people who saw the Chainsaw Massacre at the premier even got to play the game's multiplayer.

when was the last time Square gave early looks into their FF games?? hell, even when the Japanese versions come out, Square doesn't give American reviewers a preview build of the game for them to look at. American reviewers frequently have to import the game themselves in order to see some sort of preview of the game. and if they don't know Japanese... then they pretty much have to wait for the review copy in order to experience the game for the first time.

i see your point, but that wasnt what i was trying to say. i know that these games wont have reviews out the first day. what i was trying to say is just because a game is hyped alot doesnt mean that it should get reviewed instantly. halo 3 and gears had reasons to why the reviews came so fast, as you just pointed out. large soda just said since those game were hyped so much, they got reviews instantly. if going by his logic, MGS4, FF13, FFV13, Killzone2, and GOW3 will have reviews the day they come out also because these are the most anticipated games for the ps3 next year.

According to a "staff" member, GS won't release the score of a big hyped AAA title if its flopped here. The marketing department for GS supposedly has a deal with all the writers to not release the scores of highly anticipated games that flopp. This is to give the developers of said game a heads up as well as give the game a little of time to sale before negative press.

In other words, it's a way to protect their marketing dollars with developers. Ever wonder why Uncharted took so long to review....it was only a 8 hour game yet for some reason it took a long to to release......oh that's right, PS3's last hope for a AAA (majority of people gave it AAA) and it got an 8 here. There is your reason.

Wow, Im surprised your thread is still up. I've been wondering this for quite awhile, except moreso with the psp. Some games are a month late for a review which to me is pointless because by then i've either moved on to something else or broke down and already got it. I also don't like the way GS rates rpgs in general. The only reaon i was here now was to see if there was any news, but nothing i haven't heard already, and ur thread caught my eye. um, truthfully, if i want reviews when a game comes out i usually check ign. this will prolly get deleted by a mod, but if that means he's reading it. REVIEW GAMES ON TIME! and for some reason GS is the ONLY website that my browser seems to lock up on from time to time, which i just find odd. O ya, and you can't tell me MHF2 wasn't hyped on the psp, that was my turning point, took FOREVER to get a review.... and then it was a crappy review so i was glad i didn't use it to consider my purchase. GS somethings not right when u rate a game 5 and the average of the 'other critics' is 2 and a half score points EITHER way. BIG difference between 2.5 and 5.0 and 7.5

o ya, and then where's the review for UT3 for the ps3. pretty sure there was some hype around it. and even if they do 'compare' it with previous builds, shouldn't the pc version have helped them get a review faster?

Because they aren't paying CNET any money.
