lol i didnt even notice until you pointed it out! it makes alot of sence though because you dont even think about the ps3, like i go to their site, click a link, check out the 360 version and dont even give a thought to the fact that it may be on ps3, so I fully understand where your coming from. I own a wii, not a ps3 or 360 so i just read about the one that shows up so I can see how people who might be looking to purchase one of the two would be swayed

Gametrailers is really biased with there game comparison videos, they don't even have the PS3 properly setup.

First off let me state what when it comes to video games and consoles i am for the most part unbiased. If the console has a couple of games that peak my interest, chances are I will buy it. With that said I find it odd how biased ign.com is towards the 360. Just about every multiplatform game takes you directly to the 360 page, sure every now and then the ps3 page will come up but not often. Even during podcast beyond (ps3 ign podcast) some people do not even own ps3's and talk about how they are going to get the 360 version of a multiplatform game because of achievements. It just irritates me how I feel many websites are biased agianst a particular console. Im sick of the console wars bullshit, I have both ps3 and 360 and like them both.

I always heard IGN being accused of Nintendo bias. Now a 360 bias?

But I'll agree with you that a lot of websites do tend to lead towards one of the console manufacturers. But these sites are run by avid, longtime gamers so it's actually not that surprising that they may have a favorite and act accordingly occasionally.

Maybe the OP should change their sig and then claim "I am mostly unbiased".

As for IGN being 360fanboys, you do realise, most of the gaming journalism industry has rated MOST 360 games higher than PS3 games (thus far). So I guess gaming industry = 360 fanboys too then?

So they say they prefer the 360 version because of achievements (among other things), that would literally be the reason MS put them in there to begin with to ENTICE PEOPLE. Would you rather them say, I'm going to get the PS3 version because it doesn't have achievements so I don't get to feel good that my gamerscore is X value.

What happens after MGS4, GT5, FF13, GOW3 and LBP get dropped, are they suddenly going to become unbiased and fair when those games get huge scores?

By the way, they clearly state on the links next to games on the main page which console they are talking about. Is it their fault that EA sends them 360 versions first?

Obviously you should spend less time caring about what X website does and says and spend more time ACTUALLY liking both your consoles. (interesting how alot of overtly PS3 fanboys claim to have both consoles, it may be true in some cases but obviously not all, what do they think, they are more credible because they own both?)

Their XBOX360 podcast is called Three Red Lights and they have a moment of silence before every show for all the dead XBOXs that week, they also spend a majority of their time bashing the system and its idiotic shooter mainstream base.

The PS3 podcast spends their time bashing the system for its lack of in game XMB, standardized voice chat and lack of Achievement point like system, also the constant delays of games that are suppsed to me the system.

The Wii podcast is called Nintendo Voice Chat, and their slogan is, this is the only place you will get it. enough said. And if you dont get why thats a slam on the Wii then you obviously dont own one.

I think its better for them to be critical of their system then to be all hot for it. I trust a critical person more then the optimist.

I wonder what that makes me.

That is awesome. Bagging on every system in the podcasts is just hilarious.

Nah. I think that IGN isn't very biased at all. They have different teams reviewing on each system. I actually prefer IGN compared to most of the other sites.
