wow, I read it. The guy is VERY 360 biased in his writing style. Is that common for that site?

That said, it's patently clear that Rockstar hasn't handed in a lazy conversion here. Creative decisions have been made to compensate for the technical limitations, and by and large they really work, to the point where you sometimes wonder why they couldn't have been applied to the Xbox 360 version too. PS3 GTA IV looks absolutely fantastic, and even factoring in zero anti-aliasing support and a lower resolution, in many scenarios it looks as good as the 360 version, if not better.

 

How can you call this bias? I just read the whole thing and this guy has used very reliable techniques, and even then, he pretty much says that both versions are identical. 

He is not being dishonest in his assessment, but he does things like take a shot at the mandatory install, (you can tell he is putting it down), call the PS3 code a port from the 360 (I don't think it is), and while says they look the the same, on things that actually do look better for the PS3 (like the reflection and seeing the city from the helicopter) he totally discredits, and yet goes into detail about how the 360 "could" look better if rock-star chose to add some feature to access it.

He also takes a shot at the cost of the PS3 hardware.
