Everyone seems to trust IGN and distrust Gamespot, why?

I stopped trusting GS when they gave Twilight Princess an 8.8 and just months later WarioWare: Smooth Moves a 9.1.

Then the Jeff Gerstmann debacle only ensured that they couldn't be taken seriously. Just about every other reviewer has left GameSpot since the Gerstmann incident.

Wait why did you stop trusting them for giving two games great scores?

 

Not that scores say anything for me but it seems odd.

So you agree that WarioWare > Twilight Princess?

And GameSpot is the ONLY major site that rated TP below a 9 on GR.

you shouldn't get into that kinda of comparing mentality. warioware and TP are too different to really say one is better then the other.

what i mean is, i might review a movie like 'the toxic avenger' and give it 3/4 stars and then give a movie like 'little big league' the same score. am i saying one is better then the other? well, it depends on what you're looking for. do you want a crazy, over the top low budget 80s shlock film, or do you want a family friendly baseball centric film? either way, both are good films if that's what you're looking for.

TP was a game that was in development for a long time and was more a less a gamecube port with some waggle. a great game but not a great wii game. so the score makes sense (to me).

warioware was a game designed for the wii that takes full advantage of the system.

either way though, both games are great if they offer what you're looking for.
