| Escherichia said: I just stopped by metacritic to take a look at scores. First off, I like how MW2 gets a much more modest score for the PC version, which is pretty much the definitive version. MW2 gets some pitiful user scores though regardless of system, PC has the lowest, probably because of the gimped multi-player issues. NSMBWii also has a modest metascore at 88 and a user score of 94. Hmmm, is there a disconnect between gaming critics and players, or is there some serious money inflating things for some games and not for others? Or are there just a disproportionate amount of PS360 critics out there as compared to Wii critics. What so very striking about MW2 is how much lower the PC version is scoring, again the definitive version getting a lower score? Something smells fishy. |
Or like some people have been saying, reviewers have been upscoring 360 and PS3 games while downscoring other games, for unknown reasons.
At first glance, and seemingly based off of recent reviews, you could make the case that they are upscoring PS3/360 games because of graphics and hype. But that's the exact opposite reason reviewers should be scoring games higher on avg...
And even if PS3 and 360 games were to be scored higher based on these variables, then the system should be changed. Only rate 360 games vs other 360 games. PS3 games vs other PS3 games. And Wii games vs other Wii games. Its stupid to think reviewers have given GTAIV a 10 this generation and so now every game following is going to be compared next to it, even on the Wii and DS.
Six upcoming games you should look into:
