I'm sick of the double-standard held against Nintendo games.

Activision and EA titles like call of duty and all their sports and music games get excellent reviews every year despite being pretty much the same game with different levels.

Yet when Nintendo does it for the first time in 14 years everyone rains on their parade.

Not to mention how many glitches and freezes happen in them. Dont get me wrong I enjoy some of those my games myself such as this recent CoD, but its not worthy of a 9 on any console. They are all filled with connection issues and freezes for online. Being online is the biggest reason a lot of people buy them it should have gotten no more than between 7-8. Did you notice that Super Mario Galaaxy 2 is the highest ranked game this year at 97/100 and its not up for game of the year on that awards show? Guess what game did....

That's not true at all. By your definition, Mario Galaxy 2 should be scored lower than Mario Galaxy, because it's pretty much the same game with a whole bunch of new levels. No one hates Nintendo, it's just all in your mind and it's an easy defence mechanism to use when a game you like gets a score you don't think it deserves.

Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.

though I greatly agree with you, you gotta admit that sometimes some nintendo games don´t get the scores they deserve (though it doesnt only happen with nintendo either)

Updated with 3 more reviews! Does anybody here knows how to embed a GT video? I sure don't. The game has a new average of 89 according to my calculus.
