I do not sir, as stated before the rating was talking about the overrated PS2 games, I call them fanboys for their actions especially at the GOTY awards, I'm sorry you have to defend your precious Sony team, and how rating is related to their podcasts is beyond me, those two things aren't even connected.  Just quit it dude you're embarassing youself.

You can never trust any one review site. It's important to evaluate a broad range of opinions. I usually read IGN, Gamespot and Gametrailers, although I find it disappointing that the industry in general maintains a 'hardcore' emphasis and tends to undervalue the so called 'casual' games. The sites I mention above are guilty in this repect, and as far as I know of, there are no sites out there which address this imbalance.

let's get two things clearly, first of all, I don't even like the Sony team, but I dislike your ignorance even more. Judging their podcast when you clearly only tried a few is ignorance at its best. Don't judge something you don't know half of it. That's all I'm saying.

Second. stop with the whole "you are embarrassing yourself" crap, If you want to debate, Debate like a regular person, don't add those thing just because you've been on the defensive ever since the first post.

trust IGN
distrust Gamespot and 1up

To be another one of the people to bring this back on track, I usually go to Gamespot because they consistently give a lengthy review of the game, but I use their option to see what other critics have listed as the scores to the game. It is like Metacritic in that it averages out all the scores. So read the article to find out about the game, use the compilation to find out the score.

The one I have increasingly come to distrust is G4's X-Play. They give a game like Halo 3 a 5/5 when it is more of the same, but count down games like Devil May Cry 4 for being more of the same. I also wonder how much they play of games when they will review a game and if I have played it I will notice that 99% of the things they show in the review happen within the first few hours of the game. Also, they seem to be biased towards the 360 pretty bad. If it is a 360 exclusive, it's a big plus. If it is a PS3 exclusive, it is a minus. If it is a Nintendo exclusive, it is a smaller minus. Similar for PC exclusives that are not World of Warcraft or a RTS.

 So you have finally admitted you attacked me.  Good show owning up like that, people want to state what they like and no matter how much evidence they give you, you keep attacking, and you admit it.  You know admitting when you've done wrong is the first step towards being a better poster

It depends and varies. I usually like IGN but not always. I need a website to give a good amount of specifics in a review and provide gameplay vids to be considered good.

i like the fight going on here as people post related to the thread

My favorite review site, i think is GameTrailers, ign second, and dont like gamepot neither.

That is a easy answer because it is Gamespot. I trust IGN.
