Hopefully they will release PC version simultaneously with X360 version because PC version was much better.

metacritic:

360     91

PC      90

All that means is that Official Xbox magazines weren't rating it and that the initial hype over the game had died down a bit. Mass Effect on the PC was superior in every single way to the Xbox 360 version.

I'm largely going to leave this thread alone.  As the mafoo has repeatedely pointed out before going on to post his opinion regardless, noone has any conclusive proof either way.

But have you seen reviews of big games lately?  The Official Xbox magazines have been uncharacteristically harsh on Xbox 360 exclusives.  This is in contrast to PS magazines that have been handing out 10's like its nobodies business.

 

Not in the case of Mass Effect. Scores from sites/magazines with Xbox and/or 360 in their title: 88, 90, 90, 90, 96, 98, 100, 100, 100, 100. That's 95/100, four points above the overall metarating of 91 for the 360 version of the title. I am a complete and total Bioware fanboy - I've played every game they've made since the original Baldur's Gate (and everything from Black Isle since the original Fallout). And fanboy that I am, I just about choke at the idea that Mass Effect deserves a metarating of 95. Mass Effect was a disappointment on many levels but nobody seemed to care because of the hype. The ratings it recieved should have looked a whole lot more like Assassin's Creed (another game which I loved, BTW).

Besides... why are you even bringing up Playstation magazines/sites? I'm comparing the 360 and PC versions of Mass Effect. Some idiot thought that listing a higher metarating somehow proved that the 360 version was superior and I proceeded to smack him down.
