Please Read The Article Before Posting.

The Video Game Press is a joke at the moment. This clearly explains why the ps3 version of games like Dirtor Skate may get lower scores besides looking better than the 360 version.

Discuss.

Well, in that particular case it was towards giving a 360 game a better score for an exclusive article.

Yeah, from what I read all he did was just make a complete guess on the score before he even played the game because some guy kept asking him.

Yes, it could also have been for a wii or PS3 game. Who know how many times do this happen, in IGN, or even here in gamespot.

the article is too long but if it's about the skate review and the comparison pics, that was full of bull, the pics were obviously edited, I have played the skate demos countless times and I was stunned with the amazing graphics, and I can gurantee that those pics were edited.

Who really give A DAMN ABOUT IGN EXCET for Nintendo channels... where all the real critics are.

Matt, Craig and old Fry are the best game reviewers I know.

1. That had nothing to do with a particular console, just general shady business practice.

2. Do you honestly think that IGN is the only one guilty of this kind of dealing? It's a very competitive industry, and naturally cut-throat tactics such as these are going to happen.

No, it's about a review site (IGN) giving a higher score (in this case a 360 Game) for an exclusive article. About the Skate 360 PS3 issue, I still have doubts.

So basically someone says that IGn did that? That "source" could be anyone on the internet. Maybe even something they themselves made up.

Idk if this is how they did it for skate. But normally PS3 reviews are done by the PS people. Ninty reviews are done by Ninty people. Xbox by xbox people etc. So idk how thier biased. I bet the PS peopel took skate and the 360 took it and then compaired thoughts. IGN is not biased.

I love how cows think there is some big conspiracy against PS3, all this media bias, why cant you just get it that the PS3 is not the wonder machine that sony promised. its good, but not $200 dollars extra good.

If anything, IGN is biased towards the Wii. They have more hype specials for Wii games then the 360 and PS3 combined. They have the launch channel for Halo 3 but that is it, I do not even think they have one for the PS3 yet, while they have been running lots of stuff prior the Metroid being released and are doing ones for other big Wii games. I think they favour Nintendo more since they generally give even sub par games decent scores like certain DS games.

Yeah, thats another thing. Each section has their own team, and they do their own reviews for their respective consoles.
