Since Gamespot flopped Virtua Fighter 5, guess what?  It's biased against Sony.

If it flops Mario Galaxy or Prime 3, guess what?  It's biased against Nintendo.

If it flops Mass Effect, they're biased against Microsoft.

Saying Gamespot is biased is just a way for fanboys to justify the scores their hyped game got.  Stop saying they are.  I don't care that it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.  Gamespot isn't biased, and sotp saying they are.  If your hyped game flops, that doesn't mean the guys who flopped it are biased.  This is just some pathetic way to avoid ownage if you hyped the game higher than it was scored, and it doesn't work.  You're not fooling anyone, so give it up.

I wonder if any PC fans will call GS biased for giving SupCom a 8.7.

GS ratings are fine.  You have to remember that these are opinions.  You may have a different opinion but don't go callin GS biased just because you have a different opinion.

I think it is Jeff. He is not really good at reviewing. He gives Crackdown a 7.8 because of a slight problem with the online co-op, everything else wa fine though. Zelda: tp went down because of the sound.....and Virtua Fighter, he is saying it has a high learning curve (Um, hello, VF has a high learning curve). I think it is Jeff, his reviews are way too harsh. I think he is turning into Tommy Tallarico from Electric Playground (thank the lord, that show on G4 got canned, he said Forza sucked because it is hard to turn :? )

It's not biased, they are just bad reviewers (most of them) in my opinion.

Already happened. Crackdown scored lower on Gamespot than Gamerankings and some lemmings cried bias.

The TC is right. Everybody is biased if they disagree with you. What kills me is that some of these people haven't even played the game, and they're saying it should have gotten AAA. How do they know? They have not played it.

I might write a blog on this subject...

How is virtual fighter 5 a flop? It is an AA game. You cannot expect a franchise like VF to score AAA when it does not change much of anything. It is basically the same old same old. Maybe if it made a cool online deal, at least where you could exchange stuff with each other and show off your stats. Trade AI ghost etc.

Crackdown didn't really flop. It got mixed reviews.

It's the Jeffinator.  TP, 8.8.  Majora's Mask, 8.3 (MM > OoT).  Crackdown, 7.8.  VF5, 8.1.

He's okay at reviewing, however needs to definately stop being so picky about small details!

Yeah, I understand that.  It's just that I believe at the time people were thinking that a sequel (and I'm pretty sure it's a direct sequel, but I'm not a timeline theorist) to OoT would've scored higher...

I know their not biased, just very hard on games. Lost planet and Crackdown are great games but both got around 8/10. I know Mass Effect wont flop though. I dont think its to hyped and its being made by the same people who made KOTAR.

Though I rarely agree w/ his scoring method Jeff does write good reviews.  They aren't really long winded, don't give away huge surprises, and after you're done reading it you know if the game is for you or not.  So what if he's a little harsh on the score, scores don't mean dick.  Personally I feel reviewers have hyped up scores for too long.
