This is the thing though isn't it, Can you say for sure? not really. Is it likely? from you experience no, but you couldn't rule it out. Does a point here or there really make a difference? only to those who are enjoying the fight. Me I'm happy, playing little big planet and fallout 3 of which I'm enjoying both. I use meta for a guide to my next purchase and on the whole i have agreed with them so...

Great find Spartan. Fully agree with you.
When people decry conspiracy theory and demand absolute proof, they must be nuts. Nobody is filing a court case over here. We are just observing a pattern of a review site constantly marking PS3 games down. And then voila you find a connection between the same site and a rival company!
The only thing that this results in is loss of credibility for Variety and Metacritic.
Once again there is no proof or evidence required coz this is not an official court case.

disolitude
As for the google console thing, we will find out with the google phone sometime soon.

Another pointless conspiracy thread.......sigh, leaves quietly!

Who cares, it's one stupid review. Is it really tread worthy.

LONG LIVE PS3, BLU RAY all day

variety have offered a fanboy driven review for R2 imo.

had R2 been 360 exclusive they would have sung thier balls off at how much content there is for the player to enjoy.

end of the day i am not buying G2 over R2 its clearly obvious which game i will get most play time out of.

thts not to say 360 games and wii games also get fanboy reviewed, i can recall a gears 1, review in where the gimp said in his review " i will not get sucked into the grafix hype for this game"

if a prick reviewer doesnt like a particular system or a genre then he should stay away.

Resistance 2 is atleast a 95 game. I trust only IGN for reviews now. Had enough of this AAA game bullshit from MS fanboys, because it is pretty clear that the numbers are bias against the PS3.

That may be true, but what's the point in complaining? I doubt anyone would have a negative view of R2 only based on a variety review. Only an idoit would really use this review as a medium to drag down the game, Variety isn't worth our time.
