Its goina be so close.  i'm goina wager forza 3 will just slightly outdo GT.

Also at all you PS3 fans saying how websites are giving biased reviews to metecritic (which i agree they are) forgot that there are 2 sides to that coin, and the 360 suffers from that problem.

Every game on metacritic has the fanboys that rate oppossing games way to low, and the fanboys that rate it too high.  So in the end it all equals out, and to say otherwise is retarded imo.

Everything in your post made perfect sense untill the bolded part. How exactly does it equal out? It does not equal out at all. Your entire explanation is great. But it doesn't show that it equals out. It shows that it is unreliable and worth nothing.

Actually its extremely simple.  you have on one end, reviewers that rate a game higher than it should be.  And on the other hand reviewers that rate the game lower than it should be.  So using simple math you can come to the conclusion that taking the too high and the too low you would get mostly fair results because the highs and lows would basically cancel each other out.  Now i know there are exceptions and such, but for the most part most reviews on metacritic are actually fair (especially when you take into consideration that 70 is average)
