Wow ,Gamespot forums must be right now burning with rage from the PS3 owners ...its not the first time they give a great PS3 game a so-so review .

THe problem with this is about credibility ....so after Gamespot scores The Darkness in PS3 is a way better game that Ratchet and Heavenly Sword ....suuure .

Does everyone have to agree with you on what a "Great" game is?
What if someone thought that a game like The Darkness was more original, or distinctive, in its genre?

There are times when I agree with people's complaints (when you see Halo 3 and Metroid Prime 3 get very similar comments in the review and the games end up with dramatically different scores) but typically it is just someone who is angry that the game they hyped for so long is not going to live up to their expectations.


 The 10 from Play combined with the 8 from Edge leaves the game still at a 9 for average score.



In any case this gameranking thing is quite unscientific even by their own approach ...it only counts british and american sites .Never counts Famitsu or the mags from other parts of the world (rest of Europe ,Australia etc ) .

Now you know why I only read IGN's reviews, and always read the text without paying too much attention to the score.

Gamespot has gotten into the habit of reviewing games like some movie critics do movies - they forget to factor in the fact that if it's a fun game to play it's a good game no matter what "technical" flaws they find in it. R&C being too similar to previous games isn't a flaw if the previous games were also great. And complaining about it being too easy and having mini-games--you'd think they were reviewing a Wii game! Ha.

They did the same kind of thing with Zelda and MP3 though those scores stayed a bit higher. They do seem to like to rate hyped games lower too but that never seems to happen to MS games....In the end the scores don't matter, the text does, and even Gamespot's review says it's the best R&C game and a great game must-buy etc.

So... in otherwords it's not Gamespot that's bias against the PS3, but all of the English speaking countries of the world.

If I recall correctly, GameSpot is a subset of the C|Net network, and C|Net is owned by MS if I'm not mistaken. Teh conspiracy!!1!

Jup true Leo-J told me that.


Shockingly Leo is correct. C|Net is owned by Microsoft and GameSpot is owned by C|Net. idk about the Microsoft biased by the masssive a banner of the 360 that randomly appears on all Sony and Nintendo pages does point to something.

Shockingly you're both wrong.

Cnet is a publicly traded company, of which Microsoft does not own a part of. For example, Cnet gave the PS3 a higher review score than both the 360 and Wii, so theres you're pro sony bias.

Oh, and theres no way this score was handed out to generate more traffic. Everything happens because of anit-sony FUD, its what makes the world go round.


 ok so leo might be wrong (could have sworn M$ owns 15% of C|Net) but w/e. All i know is that I hate gamespot and always has. I only trust IGN with reviews and have since the SNES days.

Hey I think everyones all for listening to people saying that Gamespot likes to low rate high rated games for traffic.  But to claim they are MS based, when their difference off the average of PS3 and 360 games are nearly undistinguishable is just crazy.

He's just saying the in gamerankings, their overall statistics are unreliable, he never said anything about it being biased against PS3. Although in truth the Xbox is most popular in Britain and America but this has very little to do with game reviews
