Army of TWO

XPLAY = 4 out of 5 Gamespot = 6.5

MLB Baseball 2K8

XPLAY = 4 out of 5 Gamespot = 6.5

I know that no one should pay any attention to game reviews, but everyone does. So, why question is, which reveiws do you guys give more credit to? Yeah....i know this is Gamespot, but with these 2 games, the reviews are like night and day.

I picked these 2 game because they kinda stood out.

GS could be the worst place for reviews and I'd still take it over xplay.

I'd give xplay credit for being able to review games while they are on drugs. They must be because they gave 2k8 a better score than the show w:ow

Gamespot tends to underrate everything and their reviews are often wierd and dont make sense

They gave Crysis a 3 too. Like I said. GS could be the absolute worst place to go for reviews and it would still be better than xplay.

They are biased...or on drugs. When other sites and mdia outlets give a game a drastically higher score than theirs you know theres something wrong.

Same reason they gave Crysis a 3/5...because they couldn't play it on their favorite console.

So you're saying that if a plethora of "professional" game reviewers give high scores and one gives that game a drastically lower score it's because they didn't want to follow the pack? A great game is a great game and this has nothing to do with free will. Good Day Sir.

I'd give more credability to GS. X-Play now rates 2 games a show if even that and unlike GS, X-Play does not have reviews done by the general public. Another thing whith those 2 games per show that X-Play rates it's usually either an XBoX exclusive or the xbox version of the game. All those trying to defend X-Play's obvious bias listen up. When they rave about the XBOX online experience the full week after E3 and when it comes out, that's bias. When they ignore any Ps3 downloadable content that's bias. There is another list of really obvious things on that show. And for the record it's not people whining about games not being rated the way people want that makes X-Play Bias.

Another example to prove X-Play's Bias by the way. Watch a show called Reviews on the Run. Notice the NON BIAS REVIEWS, the inclusion of MULTIPLE SYSTEMS, and the stating of ALL PLATFORMS THE GAME THEIR REVIEWING IS ON instead of just pointing out that the game is on the 360.

Xplay sucks. Period. When you dock off marks for SupCom for having too much depth, then there's no reason on why I should still take them seriously.

As much as I respect The Sess, frankly, I hate X-Play's grading scale and their show has gone downhill ever since it became mainstream. As much as I complain about Gamespot's score (which is only naturally since you're not always going to 100% agree), I think they have a better grading scale and overall are more credible.

You guys r crazy its Morgan for sure. They are both hot but Olivia isn't even the hottest on her own show. Layla Kayleigh anyone?

Anyway I gotta say I loved X-play right up until they got the new set. There's something about the reviews that they do now, what they say just doesn't reflect the score they give.

I don't like the 5 star rating system. It's hard to tell if your buying a good or bad game based on it.

While I don't always agree with GS reviews, I have to admit they get it right more often than they get it wrong. With xplay I'm not too familiar, but 5 star rating system is fail, and from the few reviews I've seen they just cater to an even more casual audience than GS.

Even though GS reviews arn't as good as they once were it doesn't mean they have dropped to Xplay level. It's like comparing a bruised piece of fruit (Gamespot) to animal *hit (Xplay). Now take your pick.

I seen a couple of reviews on X-Play. Was not impressed. All comparisons. "This game is good because it draws this from game x, but it fails in places, in the same way game y did." Seemed like a whole load of crap.

Its fine if you want to hear/read either opinion. The problem with fanboys(especially in these forums) is that they rely on these reviews to give them (the fanboys) their own opinion because they either do not have the means or the will to play the games they complain about or endorse.

Hahahahahahahahaha. IS there even a comparison? Xplay are a bunch of casual gamers who are only notable because they "are on teeeveee" in the usa. Thats it. GameSpot no question.
