How 'bout we rate games on how good they are.  That is why IGN reviews say that the final review score is not an average.

  • If the game looks so good you forget about everything else
  • If the story is so good you enjoy it more
  • If the art style is so good that it makes the game better
  • If the controls are so tight that it makes it more fun
  • Is it so polished that it makes a difference

These are reasons to raise a score beyond the average.  No reviews took off points for a PS2 game not looking as good as a Xbox game.  I don't think the sites are biased against Nintendo as a company, I just think they are scared that the casual influx is going to ruin their gig and that they genuinely don't like the Wii.  I love the Wii, I don't have 8+ hours a day to play games any more so the "novelty" still hasn't worn off (I don't think it will).



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
