I love reviewers, its like 80% of them are biased.

And the other 19% are morons.

I just read the biased ones that are biased towards my platforms, and ignore the ones that are biased against my platforms.

 

Fixed. IGN are just about the only good reviewers left. EuroGamer and GameSpot are improving, but they have a lot of work to do.

Possibly even worse than Variety is Edge. They give Gears 2 and Left 4 Dead both 9/10 (fair enough)

THEN they give Resistance 2 a 6/10 and Valkyria Chronicles a 7/10.

They used to be idiots, now they are fanboys. They gave BioShock a 7/10, for god's sake.

I think the turning point was when they gave a perfect score to LBP. M$ didn't like this. M$ forked over some money. Apparently, they need TWO biased reviewers at any point:

1) GameSpot and - (didn't last long)

2) GameSpot and EuroGamer

3) EuroGamer and Variety

4) Variety and Edge

Of course, Microsoft actually DOES have a deal with Variety (it's been proven) so they'll last a while. I think Edge will be the next to go. Who will replace them? 1UP?

All I know is that IGN will never fall into the trap.
