If we're talking about user ratings on this site I wouldn't touch them with a barge poll. This is nothing against IOI, etc. But I get the feeling the 360 fans deliberately give PS3 games low scores and vice versa (not sure what the Wii fans get up to) so I see the scores as very unreliable.

This goes for any similar site. People (well an idiotic minority hopefully) put in bias votes which renders the entire score unstable.

As an exmple I was looking at Oblivion for PS3 and one score was 1 out of 10 (apparently because the game had already been out for 360 and PC and PS3 didn't have any exlcusives worry buying)... now that's a representative score, right?

Besides, not to be arrogant, but given a lot of supposedly professional reviewers struggle with game review consistency the last thing I'm going to trust is fanboys (and girls).

I say that last based on years of reading book, theatre and film reviews and seeing the different standards that can exist.
