So 1up/egm are not anti PS3 in their reviews ?

I mean, if you want to say that price shouldn't effect a games review that's a completly different arguement then claiming EGM and 1up are biased because they take the cost of games into their review.

I think there is a place for price however. Because otherwise your cheaper games like PSN bowling or Dig Dug would get a 2. Because they're being compared to megablockbuster games like Heavenly Sword.

Whose going to buy a game that's a 2 even if it is only like 5 dollars. Dig Dug is a lot of fun too. Plus then there is no way to state how much a difference there is from a good 5 dollar game and a bad 5 dollar game. So reviews are going to be worthless for Virtual Console/Xbox Arcade/PSN games.

It makes sense that games be judged by other games in their price range.

 Alright.

 1- Warhawk is NOT a fully priced game and they know it, how is it fair of them to whine about the price and threaten to lower its score.   We all know its not 59.99 for just the game, we know damn well it will cost less then that.  They are whiny bias idiots willing to lower a games score just casue it might cost 10 bucks more then they wan it to be.  

 

 

 

 

Simple if you account for scoring when it comes to games you have 2 main ways to do it.  Either Tiers or an exact percentage drop.

 For example their tiers could go like this.

 Tier 1: 51 to 60 Full priced game

Tier 2: 31 to 50 Discount game.   Cheaper, but still likely should be almost as good as a full priced game.

Tier 3.  10 to 29 Half price discount game.  So you'd expect it to be nowhere near as good as a regular priced game.

 Tier 4. under 10 dollar games.  Cheap throw away games that should be judged soley on how fun and addictive they ware.

A game that gets a 5 on tier 1 might get a 6 on tier 2, an 8 on tier 3 and a 10 on tier 4.

 The other way an exact price to points ratio would likely be messy because you'd have to take off a certain percentage point for each dollar more it cost.  Also putting a formula like that in a review, or giving it to an editor would be asking for a mix up.
