I'm not necessarily saying that they are biased but you can certainly make a case for it: GT Metacritic GT Metacritic Bioshock 95 96 -1 Uncharted 2 93 97 -4
Halo 3 98 94 +4 Little Big Planet 94 95 -1
Gears of War 91 94 -3 MGS4 93 94 -1
Gears of War 2 95 93 +2 Killzone 2 92 91 +1

I like how Gears of War, which had some amazing new innovations for a 3rd person console title, is one of the red scores on the X360 front. Musta been "okay" in every other department, according to GT, but not good enough to warrent a 9.x without its innovation?
Hmm and BioShock scored in the red too. Considering that System Shock 2, and its predecessors, had never seen a console before... again the game was "okay" except the innovation cranked it up a notch?
I think 9.3 is fine for U2, personally. But I think that Halo 3, Halo ODST, Gears 2, and GTA IV all scored way, way too high, especially going by "innovation". Is Halo ODST really within 0.4 points of U2, being another game which basically just focuses on delivering solid, instead of delivering new? I don't think so.
God of War III, max GT score 9.3, confirmed. Gears 3, minimum GT score 9.6, confirmed. I'm still trying to understand the innovation in Gears 2 that pushed it to a 9.5, relative to its predecessor, or any other game, for that matter.
GT has a right to their opinion guys. I think that everyone just needs to decide whether or not its worth listening too. I'm kinda thinking... no, but that's just me, personally.
