:eek: I did some research on how Gamespot rates Xbox games and IGN rates Xbox games. These are obviously the two powerhouses when it comes to reviewing games. So if they are the powerhouses they would be "experts." And if they were "experts" they're reviews would be pretty accurate and close. Well, check this out:

Out of all 41 games that have been released for the Xbox, IGN has given 318 points, so that is an average of 7.8 per game

Out of the same 41 games, Gamespot has given 295 points, so that is an average of 7.2 per game .:confused:

That may not seem like alot, but for 41 GAMES, it is.

NOW HERE'S THE REAL KILLER


NFL 2K2: PS2 score: 9.5
Xbox score: 9.3 :mad:

Nascar Thunder: PS2: 8.2 Xbox: 8.0

Dark Summit: PS2: 7.8 Xbox: 7.1

NHL 2002: PS2: 8.9 Xbox: 8.7

Star Wars: Starfighter: PS2: 7.8 Xbox: 7.2

Madden NFL 2002: PS2: 9.2 Xbox: 8.6

Wasn't Xbox supossed to be the more powerful console?!

And it's just a coincidence that Ziff Davis also owns Official Playstation Magazine??.....:eek:

because ppl expect more then just a basic port for the xbox consol, also they might be reviewed by different guys

I noticed that myself when I compared a couple games, that I had played on each consule. There was no denying the Xbox versions had better graphics, and if anything the Xbox games deserved the very slight edge because of that or the same rating. I had no idea every single game was like that, but if what you wrote is true, whitch I am sure it is, they are biased towards PS2. I do not care how much more powerfull Xbox is than PS2, the same game with better graphics does not deserve a worse rating.
