Yes its very annoying. They are clearly different versions and should be rated differently.

I hate when PS3 and 360 games are rated the same way and then they have the nerve in the article to start talking about which version is better or has such and such pros or cons. It's just unprofessional.

Well multiplatform games between the PS3 and 360 are virtually the same...other perhaps some textures here, some contrast there, and a bit different controller, the multiplatform games are made the same, and reviewed with both consoles in mind...they usually mention if one version is significantly different, like GTA4's DLC on 360.

 

I just perosnally don't agree that it should be mentioned as I think as a reviewer you are supposed to be analyizing every aspect of the game.  And if you review something the same and in the same review it should be combined as one entity and spoken upon as one entity.  And if you want to divulge from that write 2 separate reviews.  I mean I just think that's the mos proffesional because it's fair, unbiased, and ultimately the best for your readers. 

Personally I hate any idea of versions of the same game being reviewed in a pack because I think it depicts laziness. 

But I know most peopel won't agree with me but it's just my opinion.

I don't think you can call it lazy when developers purposely make sure multiplatform games on the PS3 and 360 are nearly identical...if they made one version better than the other it'd kill sales.

Reviews never get so detailed that they mention 5 fps difference or a very super minor glitch on one version compared to the other.  If you want separate reviews, they'd probably copy paste it all, save for a couple super minor things.

If it's major enough, like a 360 game having a glitch that the PS3 version doesn't, they probably would mention it in the review, and that's all that matters.  Writing two different reviews for a PS3 then a 360 version is a bit excessive in almost every case.
