Same... it seems like nowadays it seems like people think that if you disagree with reviews, then the site is biased... it's just an opinion! If the guy didn't like the game he didn't like the game...

Not to mention like recently in one of the gamespotting articles on gamespot, there was this thing about how many people on Xbox forums said that they seem to have something against Xbox or something... and they compared the average reviews from various games to their scores, and their scores were usually very close to the average score and sometimes a little higher... of course sometimes it was a little lower, but still it was pretty close...

I don't get why so many people consider gamespot and stuff biased

Anyways... Comparing IGN's reviews aren't really fair... the IGN guys have even said that before, I think... or at least other sites have... different people, different opinions, some people are tougher on scores, some people are a bit too generous, etc etc...

But right now I wouldn't find it surprising if Xbox did have more good games than NGC since it has more games overall... And like with PS2 or PSX, sure you get more crap games, but with more developers and stuff, you usually also get more good games... Unless you ONLY have those little crappy developers, which doesn't happen

Same thing goes for NGC... When it comes to any form of entertainment... videogames, movies, TV, etc, a majority of them are crap... So with NGC, they have a fairly small selection of games, and there are only a few really good games, but there's less crap to dig through...

With Xbox you have more games overall, more good games, and more crap to dig through...

I personally don't mind having a ton of crap games on a system... just don't buy them... if it sucks, don't buy it, if the show is boring or stupid, don't watch it, if the movie looks retarded, don't see it... Sure sometimes things can be deceiving and look bad and end up good or look good or end up bad, but that's what reviews are for... not to base your decisions 100% on, but if you think a game looks good and gets great reviews, buy it... if it looks bad and gets bad reviews, don't buy it... and if it looks good and gets bad reviews or looks bad and gets good reviews, you might wanna give it a rent or something...

yep...
