PS3 reviewers try to hide their lack of games by giving inflated scores, big surprise.

Only 2 of those top 4 are PS3 exclusives, though. But still, that's a good achievement.
This says more about the reviewers than the actual consoles/games.
Hype is a disease that is killing the quality of the games industry; games enjoy 'success' nowadays based off how much marketing/advertising hype they can produce, not on the actual merits and qualities of their end product.

GalCiv2 made the list.
BAHAHAHAHA!
BAHAHAHAHA!
Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.
I'm trying to figure out how the same game loses to itself just because its on a different console. Someone is smoking some crack...
Bioshock > Fallout 3?
Sorry but thats bullshit if I've ever seen it. I wonder how much all those games had to advertize to get such great scores

More ads + Bigger marketing = More people to review the game = More people outside the gaming industry reviewing the game = Higher scores = Higher average on metacriticUzique wrote:

That's pretty much why I take most reviews with a grain of salt. I'll read some every now and then on a game that looks interesting and one that I'd consider purchasing. But I can't pass full judgment on a game until I've played it myself. I have to say, I've always been happy with the games I do wind up buying (although there are a few bad apples, but they were bought used so it's not a total loss).
dont forget about Gamespot

Just skip the middle man and give better reviews to the highest bidders

The two reviewers who I trust most are GameTrailers and GameInformer. Regardless of whether they've been accused of giving scores to devs who pay, their reviews usually line up with my opinion and feeling on games.
That being said, a 95 for LBP is bullshit.
Sorry to keep the de-railing going, but what are your guys' opinions of GameFAQs user reviews? I check those a lot, and read multiple reviews so one user's bias doesn't influence it as much. I suppose it's not the actual scores that matter since for a single game they'll range from 6 to 10, but more about the points they bring up.
Why? It's true, the top 4 are for PS3, with 2 PS3 exclusives and 2 multiplatform.Zimmer wrote:

This is from Metacritic, which is an average of all the reviews, the ones biased against the PS3, the ones biased against the X360 and so on. So, it's pretty fair tbh.Uzique wrote:

Yeah! I'm already bored with all 300 games released for PS3. What the hell, they really need to step up their game.Fat_Swinub wrote:

At first glance it would seem like the PS3 is the obvious choice of next-gen console, but it's not quite that high up since a lot of the games are multi-platform. Like I said, it's still a great achievement for the PS3, having 2 of the top 3 be PS3 exclusives.
Because you played it so much...usmarine wrote:

Btw this is the average score the game got.
Meh...whatever dude.
