Does anyone believe that Average Review Scores are nonsense?

 Do anyone notice how game reviews can be a load of nonsense? Popular games get inflated review scores such as the Halo's, Mario's, Zelda's Bioshock, Half-Life's, etc. Seriously why do review sites give out such high scores when they are not justified? Time and time again the high review scores do not always result in high game sales.

The PS3 games have been harshly reviewed in comparison to the Wii and 360 games. Multiplatform games on PS3/360 have received different scores when they were identical in every way. Reviewers have been biased towards both the Wii and 360. Reviewers have been very critical of the PS3.

your best bet is to play the game yourself. many reviewrs are stupid these days.

i also agree that some(not all) offer biased reviews against ps3, but then again ive also seen poor reviews for 360 games. ie pgr4 gamespot gave it 8.5 when its a 9.0 game easily.

Rock_on_2008@- one review i thought was appauling was boomboxes review of DIRT for 360 and ps3, games are identicle apart from smoother frame rate and better sound on ps3, but somehow boombox gave the ps3 version a lower score. its this type of reviewing that pisses me off.
