A jagged alliance?

For me, I start to doubt a bit.

The things I'm talking about are those Wii -reviews of Gamespot. No matter the game, the score is just a ridiculous bunch, except a few games like Zelda and Super Monkey Ball. And to add this which everyone has said already, I thought Zelda would have got more.

The problem is, that GameSpot reviews Wii -games as comparison to Xbox360 and PS3. That's is out of league, since Wii is a completely different console than the two others. Would it be fair to compare a motor cycle to a monster truck? You should only compare the motor cycles and monster trucks to themselves! Of course, there's is really nothing to compare with Wii, but still I find it way too unfair.

The Wii -games are getting better scores outside this site. Is this an alliance? "Let us dislike Wii" or something like that? Or are the people at GS such oriented, that they simply just don't like the games? A review, after all, is just a based opinion of a single person.

Of course, I could speculate this from dawn to night, but I just feel a bit disturbed because of these reviews. The ratings those games get, are just so ridiculously low that they meant that if I played the game, my eyes would start to bleed. Usually a game with flaws gets something like 7.x and it will only go under that if there are some major problems that spoil the fun completely. Is it really this?

Oh, well...let's wait for more titles before doing any conclusions. Of course, since we are having a new console like this, the game developers have no former experience in making this kind of games, so the problem is that we will have to wait for them to learn how to make flawless games for Wii. In this case, the future would still seem bright.

I'm off to buy some foodie now.

Sheesh.
