Which game review sites to (dis)trust the most?

yeah yeah... Nintendo team is awesome, other teams ranked their games too high.

 

Nintendo podcast is great, other podcast are bad.

Pretty accurate summary, wouldn't you say? Can you say... biased? ;)

 

Being a nearly avid reader of IGN, I would tend to agree that the MS and Sony teams are far worse and less involved than the Nintendo team.

 

The other podcasts are often of lower quality, simply due to the lack of real information and amount of filler in them.

 

And, in all cases, even when the site virtually agrees that a game is better on the Wii, like Bully, Sonic Tennis, and PES: Soccer, the Wii review scores are still lower, than the other teams, because Matt and Bozon are simply much more strict reviewers.

 

There is no biased in my opinion at all, that is just my general observation, and I would say that I hate all of IGN equally. Dismissing these claims as blind fanboyism is ignorance, because if you don't believe them, you've probably not spent enough time on IGN observing, and therefore are "ignorant" of the facts about the website.

 

For the record, IGN sucks as a whole website. Gamespot is a much more credible site, imo, simply due to the fact that they don't use the "company teams" angle which promotes the fanboyism that runs rampant in the IGN offices, particularly the Microsoft team.

 

However, giantbomb.com is the most pro 360 biased website on the internet, and is a blight and joke to all credible review sites.

 

That is the site of gamespot editors who were fired for whatever reason, and now admit their bias towards the Xbox 360(and dislike of the PS3 and Wii), on that website.
