So now the Wii and DS, which get far more games between them than any other team has to cover are going to be covered by just two people when they have a large team for just the 360. If that doesn't show IGN's bias I don't know what does.

 

They have a nintendo fan reviewing all games now. That doesn't show bias, dur dur dur dur dur dur dur dur dur. Imagine an xbox fan reviewing SSBB... it woulda got an 8.

You are dead on with that one.  GiantBomb gave it a 4/5.  Lowest score the game got until a review that came out two months after the game was released.

Which would make more sense IMO. People gave it high reviews first because it had "Smash" in the name, even though it barely plays like one (in many ways).

I'm just going to say that I think Brawl is the best Smash Bros. yet and leave it at that.

Haha, I'm fine with that.

I tried to have intelligent conversations about all three games here many times before and they never turned out great. People were mostly just throwing random insults at me or saying that Nintendo can never do anything wrong. Good times...!

All three are great games.  It really just comes down to personal preferance on which you like more.  No sense in arguing over it.

My original point was only that the review is a bit of an outlier.
