Gamespot is the best, not Ign. Ign is just like any other site--give hyped games 10's across the board no matter how good the game actually is.

Gamespot is the worst (1UP is pretty bad also). I just don't go there for reviews anymore. Since they gave Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn a 6.0 because it was too "hard", I decided that was it for me.

I find that by using gamerankings in discussions it eliminates claims of choosing a biased source to prove a point ... Consider Ratchet and Clank, each of the following sources could be used for a game:

Gamespot 75%
Gamespy 80%
1Up 85%
EGM 90%
IGN 94%

By using the average of every site, and getting a score of 89% which is very difficult to claim that it is biased ...

From what I've seen, the only people who have ever had a problem with Gamerankings are Sony fans who feel that reality has an anti-Sony bias ...

So is Gamefaqs but it doesn't tell me to jump in a black hole in Super Mario Galaxy to gain 50 extra lives.

every site that lists OOT as best game ever is credible, so that does include gamerankings.

I have yet to see a single average on that site that does justice to any game.

From what I can tell gamerankings = failure on credibility in all aspects.

Translation*:

ssj12 meant to say:

I disagree with all the rankings therefore they suck. Burn the site down! Burinate it all!! Mwahahaha! BURN!!!

*Minor exaggeration may be present.

Burninating the countryside, burninating the peasants, burninating all the peoples, and the THATCHED ROOF COTTAGES!

Ah good times.
