Just realized a pattern with VGchartz review scores:

 

Its is always around ~.2 lower than metacritic scores for PC/Ps3/360 games.

Unless the game is for the Wii where it gets around ~.4 higher than the metacritic score.

 

What you guys think...is there any pattern?

Probably Metacritic started to count VGC's scores, they just haven't updated the site...

No pattern :)



There's no pattern....



Well I generally read one or two reasons:

1. VGC reviewers focus more on gameplay and mechanics and less on presentation than other sites (which is true and fair). Or:

2. The VGC reviewers who are pro-PS3/360 are most strict, while the Wii/DS reviewers are more lenient (which is not a good excuse at all).

Then again, just about every HD review I've written has been at least a couple points under the Metacritic, so I'm not one to complain.



 

 

I see no pattern.

If you are going to do this, at least post evidence.

I see no pattern TBH. Yeah, they do tend to give some lower scores for the HD twins, but I think its because they actually review more HD games then Wii games? Its justa guess, I dont have exact numbers :|



Vote the Mayor for Mayor!

maybe....



VGChartz is teh biased!



Well, the only HD game I've had the distinct 'pleasure' of reviewing has been Velvet Assassin, so that's kinda unfair as far as I'm personally concerned



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?
