Another one of these huh? This thread topic resurfaces quite often. I think it would be better to compare +90 exclusives.

It would be as follows:

Wii: 5

PS3: 2

360: 1

PC: Not sure??





I could kick many of the reviewers in their face. So many games this year missed the 90 mark on the 360 it's ridiculous. (6 games with a score of 89 in the past 12 months)



Every platform has great games in the high 80's that deserve to be in the 90's.

Okami, RE4, and Zelda are all non exclusive. They were on different and readily available consoles.



...

who cares what the reviewers like, what about gamer's score!! that would be interesting!



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

Gamer's score is biased too though.

The most scientific score is actual playtime. Xfire (PC) and Nintendo Channel (Wii) are the only places that monitor that, however. If PS3 and 360 would get something similar, I'd do away with reviews.

yeah but this time there were 6 games on the 360 which had a rating of 90, but after 3-4 weeks when the last reviews arrived they were rated down by 1. Sad

 

BTW. You missed Geometry Wars 2 on the exclusive list and if you add ports on the Wii as well, where is Guitar Hero 2 for 360 ?

 



Thanks for the corrections
