The other reason why averaging the top 10 is a bad indicator of quality. 1.5 years head start gave the X360 time to get more titles, which pushes the average up.

Yeah, the 360 had a pretty sad first year lol, I'd have to say substantially worse than either of the competition, but thats like completely beside the point, all 3 systems have some awesome games lol. Why bother with the other details XD Nintendo just chose to release some big-guns early to get a jump on the competition, whereas Sony decided to create some new I.P.'s to get a boost from launch year sales "ala resistance." They just went different routes but they all have great games -_-;;;

Wonder if MOH H2 will get on the list. With it's only review being an 84. Probably not, as they'll knock it down compared to Medal of Honor games. For Wii games to be Top 10 matieral I think they need to not have other games of the same franchise on other consoles.

Nice to see MLB Power Pros up there though. It's better then the review score indicates. If you've got a PS3 I suggest picking up the PS2 version. You'd be very hard pressed to find a more fun baseball game.

There is a reason why most MLB clubhoues have an NES in their clubhouse. RBI Baseball on the NES.

10 years from now i can see a Wii in MLB clubhouses for MLB power Pro.

I suspect haze and UT3 will get on the ps3's top 10.

 If you just compare the games that the 360 had out after it's first year then the score is something like 82.6, no?

Give or take 9 or 10 points. I didn't do the math.
 

Wii sports is a 77!

bah some people have clearly not understood this game, i mean it is not about the graphics (though i like them myself, even if they are not technically great like SMG) it is not about the depth of the sports, i mean you get 5 sports FFS! and to be honest for a supposed "tech demo" they are pretty deep, and i still play the game, there are few games with such a lasting quality even if you only use it when friends/family are around.

sorry, went on a rant there, but Wii sports has to be one of the most underrated games ever....deserves 85 minimum, i'd say 90.....b&!!$ to all these "reviewers".

On Metacritic two of the reviews for Uncharted are exactly the same, there must be an error.

85 1UP
The breadth of Uncharted's entertaining acrobatics/gunfight gameplay mix more than makes up for its shortcomings, as does the safe but satisfying story (even if it does get a little ridiculous by the end). It's definitely the type of game that makes you glad you have a PS3.

Just thought I'd point that out.

Isn't 1UP the web page of EGM?
