Gamespot are so Microsoft biased that you can only copy text and open the envelopes for game of the year while using Internet Explorer.

Try this if using Firefox/Chrome/Safari

Go to that page, click on the game of the year envelope and nothing will happen. Use Internet Explorer, and Super Mario Galaxy will be revealed as game of the year.

I knew Gamespot were Microsoft fanboys, but this is just ridiculous.

Every notice how the vgchartz homepage gets consoles sold by region numbers displayed incorrectly in firefox? Massive MS bias!

Well I can't say that I trust IGN anymore than Gamespot or any other review site, in fact I go on GS before any other site to check reviews.

Really the only b ig thing that disappointed me was their review of R&C FToD
