I already told you a primary reason is the failing of Metacritic but you chose to ignore that given my post reasoning destroyed your agenda of hate against Edge.  They're consistantly at odds with SOME of the other reviewers, perhaps the true issue is too many reviewers on Metacritic OVERRATING PS3 games.  My reasoning makes about as much sense in conclusion as yours and Mario64's, who might I add isn't the wisest person to join up in debate with if you want to pretend you're unbiased.

so it's not the one reviewer skewed one way but the many who are skewed the other way...lol

face the facts buddy

when halo odst and uncharted 2 released within a short time of each other and edge gave them both 9's that told me all i needed to know

 

No, how about you face the facts and admit that Metacritic is flawed.  The simple fact that they convert scores to a 100 scale from other forms is bad enough without taking into account they accept reviews from blatant fanboy sites with spoiler scores.  There is then the fact that on the Sony side they have far more single format reviewers due to the very nature of them having a traditionally bigger fanbase, which very rarely if ever scores a game below the Metacritic average.  All in all it tells me that Metacritic numbers are a complete pile of cack when it comes to any statistical form of judgement by any sane individual.  Finally I would also add that Metacritic will accept a multiformat review for a game like Bayonetta done on the 360 and give that score to the PS3 too when in actual fact at that time the PS3 version didn't deserve that score due to it being inferior.

I have no issue with giving ODST and Uncharted 2 both 9's, one is a excellent single player experience with little replay value due to the limited mulitplayer.  The other is a limited single player campaign (albeit it excellent in coop too) with an amazing online experience.  There is a case that depending on your opinion and what you wanted from a game the scores for both is fine, but then that reasonable viewpoint is beyhond someone with your twisted agenda I guess.

 

you're really reaching on this

if you compare the reviewers for uncharted 2 vs mass effect 2 you will find 9 playstation reviewers( you can add +3 cause they have play in the name, but i dunno) and 13 xbox reviewers

as far as metacritic being flawed,of course it is but that works both ways so comparing edge reviews is a fair comparison

and this nonsense:
