I think he means the US IGN site and not the UK.

...Maybe US IGN site doesnt want to give lower score due to it being on the homeland console? lol jk

I noticed, but I didn't really care. It really shouldn't bother you.....

@Lurker, I think you've effectively ended the thread....

^^ Wow, if that list is correct, there is some extreme PS3 bias coming from IGN .

Because there's no groundbreaking difference between FFXIII on the X360 and the PS3 except the graphics. Even the X360 version has a better frame rate and shorter load times.
The difference between Bayonetta on the other hand was big. Very big.

I think what the OP is refer to is "multiplat" games, not exclusives.  I would agree tho why there are few multiplat games that get reviewed separetely and some doesnt.  Its kind of unfair and wrong to get a copy/paste review from a person that probably only played the game fully on one console.  It'd be nice if sites like IGN that has an Xbox360 team and PS3 team to permanantly have a person from each team play their version of their game and write their own reviews for multiplat games. 

Maybe because they're the exact same games... hence the same score?

To be fair, Lens of Truth and Digital Foundry found the 360 version to be pretty inferior in terms of presentation and loading.

The same thing also happened when Darksiders was flawless on PS3, but had major performance issues, which was fixed with a patch later on.

 IGN US probably just likes to kick up a fuss just to get hits.

Actually they probably gave them the same score to not kick up a fuss. Its the same as their RFOM 2 vs GOW 2 fiasco in giving them the same scores. They did it because there was a lot of interest in what score they gave each and much controversy either way.

If they wanted to get hits they could have scored the 360 version 0.1 points ahead.

The differences don't have much impact, so I can see why they wouldn't deduct anything.

I mean sure, if you want to be exact then if PS3 is 8.9 then maybe 360 is 8.6 losing 0.3 for the slight visual dip for gameplay and larger dip for cut-scene resolution.

But that's going to make zero difference to gameplay and heck, surely all those shooter loving 360 fans will just skip the cutscenes anyway... (this is a joke BTW)

Good point
