Anyway, for those that think they are valid reviewers here are some numbers: Exclusive full retail games on both ps3 and x360 amongst 100 best metacritic scores. Both consoles have 12 exclusives. I will compare Metacritic average score with Edge score. Games "favoured" by Edge (Edge > Metacritic by more than 5%): 360 3: Halo3, PGR3, HaloODST PS3 1: LitlleBigPlanet Games where Edge gives roughly the same score as Meta (-5%/+5% deviations) PS3 2 : Motorstorm , Singstar 360 6 : PGR3, L4D, FableII, FM2, GeOW2, Crackdown Games downscored by Edge (-15% to -5% of Metacritic score) PS3 4 : Uncharted, R&C ToD, Motorstorm PR, MGS4 360 2 : TomClancy GRAW, GeOW Games trashed by Edge (-25% to -15% of Metacritic score) PS3 4 : Infamous, Valkyria Chronicles, Resistance, Killzone 2 360 1 : Mass Effect Games despised by Edge (-35% to -25% of Metacritic score) PS3 1 : Resistance 2 360 0 Adding all % differences to Metacritic, Ps3 gets -157%, 360 gets -33%, so on average PS3 gets -13,1% while 360 gets -2,7%. Not only this, if you take a close look at what were the specific games downscored things are even more biased, as some ps3 platform defining heavy hitters are treated the worst. For you as a gamer to take their word as an independent/unbiased magazine. |
This is exactly what I was talking about in my post. Nothing against ODST or any of the other great 360 titles they score well, that's not the problem. They deserve their awesome scores. But PS3 games are consistantly given scores far off the average while they do a good job with 360 games which just isn't consistant.
