It's also one of the strangest combinations of terrifying and impossibly cute that I have ever come across.
Metacritic is heavily biased in favor of XBOX and against PS3.

off, seriously. You're the problem. Play your games and quit worrying about 2 percentage point differences.

And we have a winner. Discussion over.
The OP is either trolling for arguments because they're bored, oring delusional. Pick one and lets close this puppy.

Any arguments about bias?[/quote]
Thank you sir, you have made this thread worthwhile now. Though I think you're bias, the giant bunny should be KZ2 and the bottlecaps for GoW2. So thus I demand a recount.

Wow, really? Seriously?
So Sony is some tiny, struggling little upstart company just trying to make good games for people and Microsoft is coming in with all their money and influence and destroying Sony's chances of making a successful gaming platform by manipulating reviews to give them a 1-2% bias towards the 360?
Video game conspiracy theorists...wow.

The Mana Knight believes it, it must be true.
Umm.. wow. Just wow. I've switched over to metacritic after not agreeing with IGN (who I listened to religiously in the past) a couple years ago. If I'm not taking the time to read what people write in words and just want to look at a score for a general feel, I'll use metacritic. Swayed or not, a AAA game is going to be in the 90s, maybe 80s. Metacritic is good for what it sets out to be. When Killzone 2 gets a 50 on metacritic, I'll start looking elsewhere.

Hmmm 360 has better games... therefore better scores... makes sense. Metacritic just takes averages.
IMO, look at GTA4, I've played it on both PS3 and 360. On metacritic it has a score of 98 on both platforms even though it is far superior on 360.
Doesn't seem like theres any bias there. That's one example though.

Stop your crying. See that score of 1UP's review of Killzone 2 on Metacritic? How did Metacritic decide an 'A' is 100 when there's an 'A+' score available? Prince of Persia PS3 also has a 3PT score above the 360 version even though they're exact copies. It must mean they're biased against Microsoft!
I buy all my Multiplatform games for my Xbox 360 for a reason you know.

You suck OP, but maybe I'm biased.

[quote name='Teh Nitwit']Most of that thread is about metacritic "inventing" scores from Variety, which is Microsoft owned. Variety doesn't assign a score. Metacritic "infers" that score from Variety's articles. For multiplatform games, such as Fallout 3 and Dead Space, if that score is good, they only include it in XBox360 version's overall score and if it's bad they only use it for PS3 version's overall score.

Eurogamer gave the same score for Dead Space (70), and it was only included in the 360 composite. So, yes, the universe is still in balance...
Also, Variety gave CoD: World at War a 60, and it was only included in the 360 composite. (What?! BIAS!!)

That pretty much proves that I was wrong. I guess I should have done more research before proclaiming metacritic biased. Oh well, thanks for correcting me.
To all the jackals, go ahead and enjoy yourselves. I'm sure none of you was wrong before.

giving up that easy? come on don't you know those scores were artificially lowered just to hide the bias? MS has their tentacles wrapped around the necks of cnet, cbs, DC, the porn industry, squeaky toy industry, colleges, and the martians form Ulmak 24 all in an attempt to control every form of media ever created.

Hope you learned a lesson here.
Don't be a dumbass.
At least you admitted being wrong. Respect that.

Props for admitting you were wrong.
Nobody is really biased except for those with an interest in seeing a specific system succeed, e.g. the companies involved, the people who only own one system and are certain it's the best.
