I just got the idea for this a few minutes ago, while reading the Gears of War PC board, for those of you that don't know, the pc version have gotten a 9 from gamespot, while the original 360 game scored 9.6.
Now, people in the board are going crazy, throwing around all sorts of statements such as "gamespot is console biased" "gamespot hates pc games" "I'll never trust gamespot again" etc. etc. the usual stuff whenever a high profile game scores below 9.5 from gamespot.
Now, what i was thinking was, how about that a small feature got implented into reviews of games that are either ports or multiplatform games. This feature would pretty much be about explaining to the readers, what the reasons the reviewer have for giving the different versions, different or identical scores.
I'm sure that if this got implemented, we would avoid a lot of the smacktalking we are currently seeing in, for example, the Gears of War forum.
