You hear a lot about bias. It was really prevalent I think in latter 2008. You see children, fanboys tend to call certain reviewers/outlets biased when they feel a game they love (that they usually don't play...) gets a too low score, or games they hate (haven't played argument part 2 redux) get too high of a score. The worst heat in this whole thing is 360 vs PS3 debacle. PS3 owners have given low scores to 360 games, and vice versa on sites such as Amazon and Metacritic. Before I continue I wish to say I have a good amount of love for each major console as a way to vaccinate myself against fandom. In short, cut it out!

I also have heard a lot of hate mail coming to certain people such as a certain host on a certain show on a certain channel about his review of Killzone 2 (which was a 5/5, wtf no such thing as 10/5) which is just BS because I love the guy. I don't know maybe there is someone who takes money from a publisher for a high score but I doubt it. These are typically people who get paid to do this and spend a lot of time and effort, so be nice. Anyway back to the point I wanted to make next.

Perfect scores inspire more hate than any other thing in my opinion. Some people feel like some games deserve a perfect score and complain when the game gets a 9. Some people don't appreciate the weight that a perfect score carries. It does NOT mean the game is perfect, it usually means that the flaws are small or the game is so good that any problems are like a grain of sand in water (just made that up). A score like a 9/4/90/what have you doesn't mean the game is bad, it just means the reviewer doesn't feel it deserves such a heavy score.

In closing, fanboys, leave your least favorite console and it's gamers alone. And people don't be pissy if the game you love gets a low score. Remember what games used to be? Fun. They still can be if you drop the hate and enjoy.
