People are gonna jump on you for this but I couldn't agree more.
I'm sick of the blatent bias in so many posters on here. Sure everyone is going to have favorite games and consoles and thats fine and they should be allowed to express that.
But the amount of relentless bashing and tearing down of other sytems and game franchises just because you don't like them is getting old. I'm tired of going into a pro-360 thread and constantly seeing people post about Uncharted, Killzone, and God of War. Same thing with going into a Killzone thread and seeing Halo brought up instantly.

I have seen Gran Turismo 5 dragged in the mud regarding graphics, because somehow it got made into ammo in the console war. As far as I am concerned Gran Turismo is NOT about the graphics, it is about simulating the driving experience. But, it gets elevated as some sort of pinacle in graphics "more real than real" and other stuff. Even Modern Warfare 2 became an ammo piece on how AWESOME the graphics are. And it isn't about that. It is about add RPG elements, accessibility and running fast. As far as I am concerned, the Call of Duty series looks good enough.
Another chuckle I am getting here is how people go on about graphics in regards to consoles. Really? What happened to good enough and caring about everything? Consoles are powerful enough to look good, even years from now, as far as games go. But we got to worry about THE BEST OF THE BEST, when they won't top the latest PC? How about Uncharted being discussed for solid gameplay, and also good acting for a game, and an interesting enough story? Nope, have to go with graphics, because the other stuff is too deep to see and score points with in a console fanboy war.
This generation, I see comparison after comparsion between multiconsole titles, between the PS3 and 360, and see such subtle differences I seriously doubt I would tell them when playing. One has sharper colors, while the other one has more detailed shadows. And it goes on. It is all in a battle that doesn't matter, that the companies benefit from (I guess) and no one who does them really gets anything out of, except a boost to one's ego.
And my biases? I am more pro-360 than anything else, but some of my favorite games this generation are PS3 exclusives.
