All of those useless threads made by cows saying "Bu bu bu but Gamespot are teh biased!!!1111!!" are void.

You now have one great game on your console (which we've played to death already).

Now stop going on about the worthless piece of crap known as "Motorstorm", and don't hail R:FOM as being better than it really is. 

PS3 still remains worthless in comparison to the Xbox 360.

Not really.  If the game didn't get AAA even though it's clearly better than the 360 version, there would be an INCREDIBLE uproar here, people would leave, people would get fired.

No cows imply that Gamespot has given the PS3 games lower scores on purpose. Gamespot attempts to give the reviews as unbiased a score as possible. The simple truth is that pretty much all of the games on the PS3 are just not very good.

But not all of the members might have the same bias, bias is on a personal level not a company level.

 So i presume u own very few games then ...

 

 1 Wii game ...

 1 PS3 game ...

 5 360 games ...

    Since all non AAA games "are just not very good"

  Simply put dont judge a game too harsh due to a score of AA ... AA games are still good, A games are good aswell if it hits a topic u like ... AAA games are just meant to appeal to everyone !

Really??  There was no uproar when the Xbox version of Medal of Honor Frontline scored 8.5 and the PS2 version scored 9.0...Sure the Xbox version came out 6 months late,  but it was clearly superior,  it even added split screen multiplayer.

 

Hell,  even tho the Xbox version scored .5 lower it still got the "Best" tag..

 

Yet there was no uproar...And back in those days it was lemmings saying Gamespot is biased against Xbox..

Oblivions score proves only one of 2 things

1. That gamespot editor Greg Mueller isn't bias

or

2. They don't want to back track on a game that they gave an almost perfect score to and then only give the PS3 version AA when the entire game experience was "improved upon" (i.e. framerate, draw distance, load times, shader graphics).

I wouldn't really say biased and more of the fact that the game came out a year later so the initial "wow" factor isn't there. In any case, it still a great AAA title and is superior to it's 360 brethren (as it should be).

I realize this. Gamespot was never biased to begin with and the Oblivion review proves my point- 9.5 is an incredible score.

Gamespot is baised because human=biased (which through your post you've obliviously shown) but most people are saying gamespot is baised because of their infamous article about 10 thing Sony could do to make the PS3 worth buying

Not to be picky, but maybe it's because I didn't read the review carefully enough but why did the ps3 version get a 9 in sound and the xbox360 got a 10? I couldn't seem to find any reason in the review...

I still think they're biased but they had to give Oblivion a 9. something.  It would be going WAY too far to give it less than a nine.  This review is good I think.  I think the graphics/loadtime difference and added content are a good tradeoff for the wait.  If PS3 was out when Oblivion first came out though this would not be acceptable.

Oblivion is awesome, I'm just glad that Ps3 owners get to play one of the greatest games of all time. Both versions have things that the other version doesn't have. The Xbox 360 version has downloadable content, achievements, and Shivering Isles. The Ps3 has updated graphics, increased draw distance, fixed glitches, and shorter download times. I haven't played the Ps3 version but I think I'd like the 360 one better because I don't care about graphic updates and decreased load times(play Morrowind GOTY edition, load times are about 4 times longer). I read some player reviews for the PS3 where they say this version is better because of these updates but they're basically the same game.

I still dont kno. The only reason they could give the PS3 one a lower score is because its a year late, and they doesent really matter. they said PS3 version gets DC late, but who careS? We still get it. If they weanna complain about late they could have put how its a year old on review.    PS3-The Bad: slightly annoying performance issues.

                                               Xbox 360-The Bad: Frequent though fairly brief loading times; you might run into some technical issues with performance.

PS3 Oblivion >> 360 Oblivion but yet they gave the PS3 version a 9.5 and 360 version a 9.6? Then your look at games like Perfect Dark and say Gamespot is not biased. They are completely biased towards 360.

GS has never been outright biased. There have been some reviews I've disagreed with, but I've never attributed them to fanboyism. People just accuse them of bias because they tend to read reviews w/ an SW mentality.

Scores are based on the platform. Also, standards have risen over the past year, and a 9 in graphics today isn't what it was yesterday. This "biased" claim is full of hot air.

I personally think all remakes besides Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance and Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence should be given A-AA. MGS games literally ooze new content for re-releases.

absolutely, everyone is biased in one way or another. but I agree with the TC too, Gamespot as a whole isn't biased against the PS3 or any system but certain reviewers could easily be biased.
