I find this quite odd...

I have been wondering as of late on how Gamespot comes up with the actual review score for a game...so here's what I did.

I added up the 5 individual scores for Splinter Cell (8,9,9,8,9) and came up with 43...then I divided by 5 and came up with 8.6 which is the score they gave to Splinter Cell. So I thought that it seemed logical to do it that way, so I went along looking at some more games for the fun of it...and game across Colin McRae Rally 3, which also got an 8.6. But however, the scores for CMR3 (9,9,8,7,9) only added up to 42, which divides into 8.4. Why did they give the game a higher score for no reason at all?

So then I decided to do more research and found that the Zone of Enders 2 (ps2 exclusive) should have a score of 8.4...instead they gave it an 8.5. More research has revealed that DOAXBV's real score should be 6.2, not the 6.0 that they gave it.

Lowering the xbox game's scores and bumping up the ps2's games scores for what reason? More biased antics from gamespot...

I suppose that yawn is supposed to signify that gamespot's biased and childish actions have been going on for far too long...

that explains why they dont know their shiat

Maybe they are like IGN and don't give an average. They just come up with a number they think fits. Personally I don't agree with either of those sites, nor the ratings on this site. I think http://www.gamesdomain.com gives the best reviews. Almost every website could take some lessons from them.

No, the yawn was to point out the fact that there are more "I hate EA" or "I hate Gamespot" threads than "Is GTA coming for the Xbox" on here...and it's just the same repetitive nonsense...if you don't like them, and have a gripe about them, then just don't go there...there's alot of other sites out there that give just as good news. And a bad rating...is it the end of the world?

yea. its the persons opinion on the game. just because they think it sucks, that doesnt mean the person is dumb or anything.

[Snoopy7548]

lol. there might be another gta game, its gonna be gta:san andreas. its at ps2.ign.com lol. i bet that next year, they'll come out with 5 more gta games. 2 games are enough. theyre basically the same exact games, except you have like 2 new weapons and new missions.

they did the same thing to splinter cell for pc.. it should be an 8.6, but they rated it a 8.7

I didn't start the thread...but it was my first post...STALKER

[Cyclone]

People still read IGN and Gamespot? :o
I quit reading IGN and went to Gamespot when they started trying to make you pay for everything. Now Gamespot is a money grubbing whore like IGN so I don't read them anymore also.
I'm currently waiting for Gamers.com to sell out

[ARONO129]

Try this site. They give several reviews of a game. I just stumbled on the site. I must have been looking for porn...er...corn. Yes recipies with corn.
