or better yet, why don't they spell out the full name, "playstation 3" "nintendo Wii" "nintendo DS lite" "personal computer"

dude... see, its just not fair.

Than 360 would be dwarfed compared to all of them. Although they could go back to calling it X360.

then if they decided to abbreviate one system, then abbreviate all of them and represent them equally.

if they made it PS 3, then they should make it X360

if they made it Xbox 360, then they should make it Playstation 3 and Nintendo Wii

look at ign. thats what i call equal representation.

i took classes of webpage design, its in the book. make larger icon to attract more viewers, "xbox360" header tag is so over-represent.

just stopsure you tookclasses and i was the one that murdered jfk but what you are saying is just plain stupid there are other sites where it also says ps and then xbox 360 that is because there is no official abreviation for the xbox and if they would do it like ign then they would have to make the web page completly different because it wouldnt fit up there

ok, if they don't even make this little thing fair, how can i trust them being fair at other stuffs?

reading ign, i would rest assure that my favorite system is not being unfairly treated, but GS just fails to do so. tell me why won't they just make it fair for every system? what is your reason huh...

you do know ign gave heavnly sword a worse review then here on gamespot here they at least gave it AA

when i speak on behalf the penguin community i do agree gamespot is very biased. Look at the scores gs gave on games that had to do with penguins while games that had with wolves had better score. totally biased.

cases that GS is biased:

1) Halo 3 scored AAA even though the gameplay is essentially the same as Halo 2, yet other Wii games flopped because of it (mainly Metroid and Zelda)

2) they don't let us discuss Blu-ray vs HD-DVD and claimed that its not relating to videogames, what the heck? isn't PS 3 a game system uses Blu-ray disc? aren't games able to be store on Blu-ray? how's that not related to gaming?

3) pay attention to their news, most of them are bad publicity for PS 3.

4) look at the Gamespot website design, the "xbox 360" header tag is much larger than the rest of the system, why don't they make it evenly sized?

5) they rate Xbox360 games higher than most of the other sites, and this has been proven with reference with gamerankings. check out how GS rate 360 games, usually higher than what other sites give and then underrate PS 3 and Wii games.

etc etc...

Game13a13y

1) Yeah, that would make most of the other gaming sites biased, They gave Halo 3 AAA

2) This isn't Format Wars, the PS3 may use Blu-ray, but the 360 doesn't use HD-DVD.

3) Well the PS3 has alot of bad news going for it.

4) Oh noes the bigger tags, teh biased. They also put it before the other consoles. So what if the tags are bigger, the PSP is bigger than the DS. Also about you suggestion of spelling out the full name, why does Nintendo get their name infornt of their system and not Sony or MS, that isn't fair. Seems kinda biased.

5) Yes all the 360 games score higher than most of the other sites. Look at Blue Dragon GS gave it a 6, while it only has around a 78 at Gamerankings. Crackdown got a 7.8 here, while Gamerankings gave it a 83. Looking at the PS3 scores, they gave Ninja Gaiden Sigma a 9 while it has a 87 on Gamerankings. They gave Warhawk a 9.5 while it has a 84 on Gamerankings, they sure do like to overscore 360 games and underscore PS3 ones.

[QUOTE="tylerdurden2621"][QUOTE="---OkeyDokey---"]

[QUOTE="tylerdurden2621"]I think almost all sites give the wii far too good of reviews. Wii fanboys want to put it in the console race and compare it with the ps3 and 360 all the time, so if the wii is in the same category as the ps3 and 360 it should have to meet the exact same standards. Graphics are always a major part of reviews, and the wii isn't comparable to the 360 or ps3. The wii cannot match the AI, or the sound. Multiplayer for the wii is also non existant which kills the replay value for alot of the games. With all that against it in comparison to the ps3 and 360 I think its ridiculous that any of its games can score over a nine. Since Nintendo went the cheap route and just added a goofy controller, wii games should only be able to get a nine at absolute best. mgs_maniac

theres goes all of your credibilty (if there was any to begin with)

I must be misinformed. The wii must have stellar graphics, sound and AI in comparison to the ps3 and 360. Evidently wii games have great multiplayer. I had no idea that the wii was on par with the ps3 and 360. Hmm, actually I dont think that is right, what I think is right is you are a blind fanboy that cant see that your console is inferior to the ps3 and 360. Clearly it doesn't have to meet the same standards as the ps3 and 360. If prime came out on ps3 it probably would have got a 7.5 because of lack of multiplayer and substandard graphics. If metroid came out on the ps3 and 360 with everything exactly the same it would have gotten at least a full point lower on the reviews. Does anyone really doubt that?



I doubt that because Metroid 3 is a great FUN (yes, fun) not a graphical game.All the fun for the wii is the graphics.I doubt you have ever played with the wii.

Why do wii fanboys always just assume you have never played a wii if you dont like it. I actually bought my wii on launch day, and it was mildy entertaining. Then after about a month I quickly realized that I was a total sucker to buy it, should have just kept my gamecube. Anyways, I held on to the dust collector for about seven months or so, and then smartly sold it on craigs list to another sucker that will quickly discover that they were a sucker to buy it as well. If the wii gets down to about fifty bucks I might consider buying another one, because I honestly think thats a fair price for what you get. Should be priced around 50-100 bucks.

i figured somebody will argue about my 4th point. but do you know if they so decide, they can design logo's to represent each system instead of using words?

its psychology man, they made larger xbox360 tag to make it seems like its more important.

Game13a13y

wouldnt ign be biased too? since the wii tag is smaller compare to the others while they also listed the word xbox 360 as a tag.

one of the reviews that still bothers me from ign is when they gave jade empire a 9.9 while gamespot gave it a 8.4. i played the game and it is a good game overall but its not 9.9 good. thats another reason why gs isnt biased as you say it is.

if you are going to say it's cause its not a microsoft game well ign gave halo 2 9.8 while halo 2 on gs received 9.4.

They're not biased, but their reviewers are incredibly inconsistant. Read the Halo 3 review then the MP3 review or even the LoZ:TP review. It's easy to confuse inconsistancy for bias because inconsistancy is unprofessional and simply ridiculous, for a site that reviews anything, to have.

i think it is ridicoulus that the ps3 and wii fanboys think that gamespot is biased just because their hyped games are not scoring well and the 360s hyped games are.

maybe this is because their hyped games are just not that good and and the 360 games are! and why does everyone think just because halo scored good that gamespot got payed to give it that score.... which is just dumb and ignorant because if you would look at other sites they are giving it the same score and no why would microsoft need to pay review sites to give the game a good score when they dont need to do that because the game is good and deserves the scores.

by the way i do own a 360 but also a wii and im planning to buy a ps3 so no im not some sort of fanboy i just think its redicoulus to blame someone when you dont like something. and im sorry if i have grammatic mistakes but im not from an english speaking country.

porzdeadline
Thing is if you look at Gamerankings, the scores GS gives out for many 360 games are at or above the average, yet you look at the two highest-profile Wii games and they are substantially below the average ... explain please ...

Explain how it IS unfair treatment. It's not like people are going to click the X360 bar just because it's huge... :|
