That's probably why they "weigh" certain sites higher. On top of that, if we review on PS3, we can't state it's 360 as well, so that score will only go to the PS3-version of that game. That may help that single game, or may hurt it. I think it's relatively harmless. Besides, the 360 mags / PS3 mags will probably both do the same thing, while fans will always find reviews to prove that they are stricter on their own platform-games. In any case, considering that Metacritic is easier to get to when you're English (something gameranking even requires), it's probably even safer to say more US and UK mags are in the list, meaning 360 gets more chances to get favourable reviews imho.
