They have thus far been a lot more generous with their scoring of X1 exclusives than PS4 ones (9, 9, 9, 10 vs 2, 6, 8, with each X1 score being higher than the average and each PS4 score lower), but the sample size really isn't large enough to start placing definitive labels on them.

Regardless to if they're legitimate though, I have to admit I disagree with a lot of the scores they've given (to both exclusives and multi-plats) :p

Wow at those scores x}

I won't accuse Digital Trends for having a "hidden" agenda but I gotta say many of their reviews really do stand out. These are some of their most recent:

10/10 Sunset Overdrive
9/10 Halo: The Masterchief Collection
9/10 Forza Horizon 2
8/10 Halo Spartan Assault
8/10 Forza Motorsport 5
8/10 The Last of Us Remastered
7/10 Ryse: Son of Rome
2/10 The Order 1886

And no it has nothing to do with different people reviewing games at different terms because Adam Rosenberg is the reviewer behind all of the above (he's a former writer on Official Xbox Magazine by the way). Their reviews of Infamous, Killzone and Knack aren't written by Rosenberg.

 

Edit: It turns out that the 2 founders of Digital Trends have worked with Microsoft before. Ouch x}

Ian Bell: Former recipient of Microsoft MVP
Dan Gaul: Former Software Test Engineer on the Exchange Server NNTP team of Microsoft

wow. I knew I was on to something when I saw the scores. Like I said its like they are not even trying to hide it. I am not saying thier is a consiracy (MS paying them to make bad reviews). I think this what it looks like when a fanboy gets a site to make reviews.
