Moreover Gaming Age review for LA Noire, which is for both Ps3 and X360, is shown only in the Ps3 section. And it's a 58!

Again, Gaming Age played it only on the PS3.

What is even funnier is what is listed under that C Plus. It says "Metaconversion = 70" and states that sites like GameRankings and Metacritic should list their score as a 70.

 

 

My point is that if it is a multiplat and they play the same, why play it twice if those publications know full well they will rate both the same?

The way MC choose to go about this gives a false perception of said title when compared on both platforms.

 

Metacritic hasn't been doing this "Only give it to whichever console the reviewer played it on" nonsense forever. I believe it only started a year or so ago.
