To think I expected this thread to disprove conspiracy theories about GameSpot. That's damning evidence.

That's what I said.

I had my suspicions about Gamespot....

According to their meta page, Gamespot are on average 5.4 points lower than other critics, so the OT doesn't really suggest them to be biased against the 3DS. They are just harsh in general :P

Tell that to the reviewer who said DKC:TF had "bland" environments.

That 65 for A Link Between Worlds by Destructoid is so wrong! But I'm glad they called out Animal Crossing.

What does the opinion of an individual reviewer about a single game have to do with a generalized statistical fact? ^^;
