I LOVE Jim Sterling reviews, they may be brutally honest but they always cause a shit storm, what's amusing is, I don't think when Fable III got massacred by him any of the X360 crowd decided to make a thread about it, but when PS3 exclusive gets crucified.. *Shitstorm inbound*

You can't be serious. When the Fable 3 score was revealed half the review thread was spent shitting on him and his site, I know mainly because I was defending his review from the feral 360 fans willing to reference his weight and mother. 

I will still defend Jim by saying that even though he is inconsistent and I'd like to think he does lower or raise review scores on purpose (Deadly Premonitions 10/10 or Assassins Creed 2 4/10) to start up shit storms just for the sake of it, he still does write some good reviews and the LBP2 was one of his better ones.

Also, the people saying that he uses the full scale are wrong. He just fluctuates depending on his taste, a game could look and play the best, but if it involves space marines and he doesn't like space marines, then his probably going to give it a 5/10.

Any links of the 360 fans going nuts over the Fable 3 scores, don't recall that much tbh.

This site really needs a search function.

After reading through it, I've realised that it wasn't as bad as I originally thought, I must of mixed it up with the Alan Wake thread or something. Though it does have some backlash with people calling him a fat ass, saying he talks from his ass, someone calling for his death using superpowers and just some mild attacks against his reputation as a reviewer. It still backs up what I said, which is that every exclusive (or even multi-platform title) that is reviewed lowly by a specific site is going to be defended by it's fans and it's not specific to one platform. I've seen it happen with Reach, Alan Wake, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Metroid, Crackdown 2, as well as Sony games.
