Oh don't get me wrong, I DEFINITELY have my share of bias trust me ;) But it's just the simple stuff from them that gets me. I mean how many reviewers have spoken out against MKWii? I mean as much as I want to deny rumors (take lair for example, every reviewer says something, PS3 fanboys attempt to defend, but too many reviewers support the opposite theory blah blah blah), They however are a shining beacon of hope. Almost every other reviewer says the opposite, GTA4 > MKwii. You'll also notice (not pointing fingers) that MANY pronounced "Nintendo Fanboys" always find themselves "Agreeing with Tycho", much like 360 owners generally agreed with Gamespot, much like PS3 owners always flock to IGN. I would prefer to go where I feel my games are being favored. How about that one random comic strip with the guy going on a vacation and "ditching" the PSP? I mean seriously? You can make that un-biased? Any "professional" reviewer knows that every console is going to have great games floating around. I do NOT like the Nintendo Wii or the Xbox 360, but I understand that they both have fantastic games, even if I don't like them. For a professional reviewer, that comic strip seemed to only indicate 1 thing. In general I can see the massive pro's and cons as far as video games from every company are concerned, but I've seen them pick apart a title for little to no reason, yet let all the typical Nintendo stuff slide. It's not a MASSIVE bias, but I definitely see it. |
They liked Assassin's Creed and Crisis Core too, and they are practically obsessed with Valve and The Orange Box. Guess that makes them biased as well...
What they are is cynics and critics. They say what the media won't, and they call the media out on their bullshit.
