IGN Wii guys thanked in the Conduit's credits. Possible bias in review?

that's the problem with using a 5 scale for reviews. You guys don't want a 100 grade scale and this is one of the consequences. They just don't have many wii games sent to them to be reviewed.

Instead, why don't you look up the ratio of what systems games made the top.

DS 3/12 = 25%

PC 3/25 = 12%

PS2 0/2 = 0%

PS3 14/63 = 22%

PSP 0/5 = 0%

Wii 1/19 = 5%

360 15/114 = 13%

Like that?  Or like this?

Total = 240         High scoring games = 36

DS 12/240 = 5%                 3/36 = 8%

PS2 2/240 = <1%               0/36 = 0%

PS3 63/240 = 26%             14/36 = 39%

PSP 5/240 = 2%                 0/36 = 0%

Wii 19/240 = 8%                  1/36 = 3%

360 114/240 = 47.5%          15/36 = 42%

When you looked up top did you look up 4+5 star?

You're including PSN games for one. Wiiware VC has lots of previously rated 5 star games so I don't know if we should include those.

They've also only been sent 19 games to review compared to 63 and 114.

One would think that being biased they would shit on ds games too but they don't. I guess you probably have an argument with that too though, so let's just ignore the ds.

But according to metacritic type sites, there are similar rankings of top tier games wii=8 ps3=13 over 90. Some of those top wii games haven't even been reviewed by giantbomb. So, one would say that they would probably have a more even distribution if they were considered relevant enough to be sent games.

5 star only.

The 19 Wii games they reviewed includes the 3 WiiWare games they have reviewed.  They don't review VC at all.

Why would they hate on the DS just because they don't like the Wii?
