You're back? where did you go? I haven't seen you around lately. Maybe I just haven't been paying attention. Anyway, I thought "lemmingspot" was hinting at the sheer massive amount of lemmings that come here over the other fanboy camps. At least thats how I see it. but I could be wrong. I don't think Gamespots reviews are all that biased... usually. but yeah..

There are definitely more Lemmings than anyone else on this site. Look at.. umm.. ANY poll on the main page, or even here in SW. lol.

Don't get worked up about it and leave the conspiracy theorists to their own opinion . . .

They are biased towards 360 because it is a games site, if you want unshakable support for the PS3 you need to go to a blu-ray site.

Well to be honest i have yet to play MP3 so i wont comment

But i have played Twilight Prinicess and to be completely honest, it acually had got a much better score than i thought it should of got, now before TP i had never played a Zelda game before, but by hearing about how amazing it was going to be and how awsome OOT i bought into the hype...big mistake

Honestly i completey agree with the GS review of TP

But do you really think MS is giving the bag of cash to GS?

GS reviews are usually pretty honest. everyone was up in arms about Motorstorm, but after beating it, my score was very close to theirs. (It was a good game though.) Just because you think a game is amazing, doesn't mean everyone agrees. oh, and WB DD :)

GS is Lemmingspot. That's kind of hard to deny.

But people exaggerate what that means. MS isn't paying GS, nor do Gamespot employees worship MS (I hope). They just know what the majority of people on their site like, and unfortunately, they review(andadvertise)accordingly.

It isn't that they're biased towards the 360, just biased against everything else.

Perhaps this place is Lemming Spot because more people have bought the 360... I don't think small kids and senior citizens that purchased the Wii care too much about video games to look them up on the internet, and thePS3... yeah....

This place used to be Cow Spot, now the only cow spot you can see are on a nice leather jacket.

I wish more people would post on games after they've played them rather than being sure they are AAA and a gaming site is biased before the thing has even been released! I think GS were spot on with motorstorm, perhaps generous with TP rather than under-rating it and having played Gears I cannot see how that is rated so highly. Its all personal opinion but people need to play a game through and haved some perspective before losing their minds over a review score.

EDIT cows started calling it lemmingspot after GS kept flopping all the PS3 games.

I debunked this a few moths back.

If you compare the number of AAA and AA games for each console on both gamerankings and gamespot the numbers are very similar.

So, it is not, in fact, Gamespot, but the entire industry that is biased?

I don't consider it a noteworthy conspiracy until it involvesmultiple star systems.
