Looks like Gamespot F'd up the Bellcurve on this one Folks

Gamespots scores are pretty accurate most of the time.

that 9.9 at IGNXbox though...not really surprising. Not saying that the game is bad but that channel is known for inflated scores.

I have always trusted Gamespot's reviews above all other game review sites.

If you (not you, in particular. You, in general) couldn't tell, the people that review games for X-Box who also review games for other consoles are biased and give X-Box games higher scores a lot of the time. Stupid IGN. Only pertains to them.

What do you mean? Are you saying that X-Box reviewers are biased, or that all editors from their respective channel are biased?

ANyways, I never really noticed bias on the Cube or PS2 channels, as I did on Xbox. Like recently, with SC: Chaos THeory, "best Xbox Game ever made"...lol, it feels like every few months there's a new "best xbox game ever made".

I totally agree with you. It seems the XBOX is too hip to have one month old outdated games representing itself.
Someone should start a poll to see what the next month's best xbox game will be.

And by the way I do own an xbox and jade empire.

IGN is full of biased reviewers.

I'd disagree. The PS2 and Cube channels are pretty strict; especially Matt from IGNCube...he's not afraid to tear up a game if its , even if its Mario.

I'm surprised you should, actually.

IGN has come a long way and the reviewers have gotten way ahead of theirselves, as of late. If you look at the scores, as well as the write-ups, of the last gen consoles (PS, N64, Saturn, EVEN DREAMCAST!) you can see how much more precise they were back then. Now they're just e. I prefer hands-on play with most games, nowadays. Don't trust reviewing sites. Magicbox and Gamefly is all I need. :stongue:

Well, I agree back in the Last Gen Console days IGN was pretty Specific, Today they are more like "0MGz Gratast Gfx Eva!1!ONE!!11"

I'd just like to show the nonsense that IGN makes of their ratings, nowadays.



And HOW exactly did it get an 8.0 in that category? BS reviewers. That's how.
