IGN got a 0% on the PS3? That's impressive.



Say... how biased towards wii games is Nitnedo power? Just curious how much "over" nintendo ranks wii games over the average.

 Edit: Found it myself.  1.6% high. for nintendo stuff.  Heh I thought it'd be like 6%



Thats why I prefer IGN. They have reviews which are, for the most part, on par with overall (gamerankings) reviews. They also have informative writing. Next to them, I choose Gamespot, but that is only for what they say about the game, not the score.

Great Job, Happy Squrriel.

Substantially Moderately biased, about 3.8% over the GameRankings average. Two-thirds of their Wii reviews were over the average (which is another good measure).

But Nintendo Power doesn't review games for non-Nintendo systems, so you can't do an analysis like HappySquirrel did. 1UP, for example, was 9.6% below the GR average for Wii games. Nintendo Power is a piker compared to that.

I don't think most respected gamers consider Nintendo Power a fair reviewer...more just information and plain hype...which isn't bad.



LEFT4DEAD411.COM
Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

Check out the site.
It's +3.8%



To cash in my CC rewards points for $300 in Circuit City gift cards to purchase a 360 or not: That is the question.

Nice stats.

Yup, IGN has been my reviewer of choice for a long time now - and I find that my opinions closely align with their reviewers (in terms of score, comments, etc..).

1UP & GameSpy look like they hate the Wii. Then again, it looks like GameSpy is just a hard marker - leaving just 1UP (pro 360, neutral PS3, hate Wii).

Play magazine isn't much better.

Another way to look at it:

Wii:  +1, +/-3, -6 (total -5)

PS3: +2, +/-4,  -4 (total -2)

360: +4, +/-1, -5 (total -1)

...

Want to add some other sites to that list? Joystiq?

Nocturnal is helping companies get cheaper game ratings in Australia:

Was it? Ah I see I was looking way overall. They must review the early games high to give the console a boost then let the reviews fall back to the norm or something.
