I don't think it's a huge problem.  Sure, particularly with US based sites/reviewers you can tell that, as the 360 is the more dominant platform in the region, their general bias leans to it, but for the most part it evens out I think.

Most decent sites seem to review/test both and in most cases seem to note any issues on either side - be it PS3 port issues a'la something like Bayonetta or 360 port issues a'la somthing like FFXIII.


That's blatantly not true, the only bias shown is they're more likely to base the main review around the 360, they do not rate the game any better based on platform. 

@OP - You're the problem, instead of generalising you should look to find a set of reviewers that you trust as not every reviewer can review to your specific tastes.

I don't want reviews catering to my tastes, I just want reviews to be consistent with their PS3/360 review releases. Like I mentioned earlier, if the PS3 version of a game is superior, it usually goes by unnoticed and the same score is given to both versions in a copy and paste review. This isn't something that's done on purpose, it's just that the reviewers favoured console, gets in the way of their final multi-platform review. My favourite sites like Giant Bomb and Joystiq, openly admit to playing the game on a specific platform and they rarely ever play the PS3 version. This is was ok a few years ago, but it doesn't cut it these days.



Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.
