If you look at metacritic

Metacritic has become a bit useless though, you only need review sources such as Gamespot or Eurogamer to post unreasonable low scores and the average is dragged down considerably.

IGN is one of the more balanced review sources. But in general US media and Eurogamer (UK) are heavily biased to the advantage of the 360 and against the PS3. I think this has become pretty obvious over the years.

Im sorry but IGN has given 4.5 to Sonic Unleashed for the ps3/360 and 7.2 for the Wii version. I own both games and they are pretty much identical with Wii version lacking some levels and having worse graphics but somewhat better controls for werehog levels.

Anyone with a sane mind would have rated the 360 version same as wii version if not higher.

They had a whole bunch of other fuck ups such as Alone in the dark.

I agree somewhat, some IGN reviewer gave Super Ruba Dub an awful score, but the game is actually good.

But despite such exceptions they are better at reviewing games than most sites out there. Sonic on the Wii may get a higher score because there are different expectations. Nearly all Wii games except for maybe a few games like Mario Galaxy would have gotten awful scores in the graphics department if they were rated based on PS3/360 criteria.
