It would be nice to get a re-review of the game from someone that is not biased and actually knows the genre he/she reviews in. I'm sure many feel the same way for Ratchet & Clank. Ryan is a 360 gamer, having someone like this review an Exclusive PS3 title, one that many have been waiting for (was there even a Launch Center?) is a complete disservice to both the game and the system.

So Gamespot had to officially address the review of Ratchet - is it possible that at the time they started reviewing their rewiers??? Maybe the cleanup is an admittance that they haven't been completely fair and aren't putting in the time they get paid to put in... just a thought

Ryan Davis, the GS reviewer that scored Uncharted a disappointing 8.0 is now gone from Gamespot! He did all PS3 and Uncharted fans a disservice with a lackluster review of one of the systems best games.

GOOD RIDDANCE!

It would be nice to get a re-review of the game from someone that is not biased and actually knows the genre he/she reviews in. I'm sure many feel the same way for Ratchet & Clank.

Holy crap. I was just complaining about this over on the post from Gamespot about the Kane and Lynch thing. Especially how that guy completely screwed up the review on Uncharted which certainly derserves at least a 9 if Halo can get a 9.5. Well I second that opinion then GOOD RIDDANCE!

??? That's link doesn't say he's leaving at all. I think you are mistaken. Needless to say his Uncharted review still sucks and I hope becomes more objective or DOES leave.

It was a mistake to have one guy that doesnt even play PS3 (just 1 PS3 title in his PS3 collection? something's fishy here) was the mistake. I say we should review the Gamespot review process and let people that is not biased toward one system to do the review for that game genre, like what PC Gamers does, which has a specific reviewer for FPS, RTS, turn-based, simulation, racing, and what not. Instead of this "haha, i know you are xbox fan but i hate you so ur going to play hello kitty game for review this week stuff." If you look at each of the reviewer's profile, they are almost purely Xbox-centric. I won't say they are bought out by MS, but to have bunch of 360 gamers reviewing PS3 is just my idea of biased review in preparation (i doubt they even bothered to try the PS3 version given choice).

That'd be good. I never liked him (not because of scores he gave games).

Ryan has not left.

God know's how you got "Ryan davis is gone" from that blog post.

I'm a PS3 fan but i'm a multi-console owner and have no loyalty to any corparation, i go where the games go and great games go to every platform.

Over the last year or so all i have read from the PS3 forum is crying fangirls constantly, game's like heavenly sword/motorstorm/uncharted/RFOM/lair all got fair reviews IMO, they are good games except lair but heavenly sword is not on the same level as god of war/ninja gaiden so how could it get a 9.0+/ RFOM is not on the same level as Gears/rainbow six/crysis so how doe's it deserve a 9.0+.

Sony have brought out some good exclusive games this year but nothing amazing, and the only reason the fangirls want 9.0+ exclusives is so they can head over to system war's and brag about a game the other pathetic bunch of fangirls cannot play.

Constant crying is all i read, it's like gamespot is populated with 95% of she-boy's readying there hand-bags for dawn.

Honestly, I think they all should be canned and replaced by PROFESSIONALS. A game review site becomes a complete joke when they start taking sides after being neutral for so long. 360 was to give this "we're hip" feel and Gamespot bought into it like a mindless bunch of fools.

As I've said in many posts in the past on this subject, I can do a better job than they can. Why? I don't subscribe to this childish "system war" and what I like doesn't matter when it comes to a public general review. If I'm stuck to do a genre I don't like, I'd still review it to the best of my ability and try to see it from the point of view of fans that do like it. It's a service to the public, plain and simple.

You are correct, but I'll explain where I read too much into the blog. A few people in the comments of that blog made it sound like Ryan was gone. I edited my first post in this thread to correct that...different post altogether, but my intent is still the same. Ryan Davis should NEVER review a PS3 game, especially an exclusive title.

I agree with you. But it also doesn't help when the site itself fuels it. I personally don't care about the scores, and I wasn't impressed with HS at all quite frankly. Like you, I too go with what I like and don't do this crap. But I do see it, and this site and it's staff are far from being innocent. Also for the population here, it's one thing to get "hrmph" about it, but most of these people take it too far. Like it's some fictional "war" happening. Going around like Gamespot is some Nazi PS3 prison camp. I just say, "don't take it too seriously" This site has no creditability anymore. It was dying when they started this system war crap in the first place. I myself only really come here cause any PS3 related news usually ends up here pretty quickly, on this forum I mean.

The only flaw in your reasoning is that a lot of times people are complaining when Gamespot is giving SIGNIFICANTLY lower ratings than most other game magazines.... Ratchet would be one example. If a lot of sites are giving low scores people agree or disagree, but when games gets more than a full point less on GS then they have a right to question the sites integrity (especially considering MS big donor ship money to CNET....

I am still debating if I should bash you on the word play "fangirl"...

Having fair view on all games are important, but it's another issue when you take preferred console into account. Why let someone who have mostly 360 collection and obviously not wanting to bother with PS3 review a PS3 exclusive title? Is'nt it more fair if they can get someone who is truely passionate in PS3 to review that game for us? Multi-platform user like us does not represent the norm of the people that plays 360 or PS3.

A lot of the console shooter will show up as being slow and just downright borning on PC, yet they are perfect for controller type gameplay. If review is to be fair, just about all the FPS for console should get about 2-3 points lower.

But it's not, why? Double standard? Sure, different system, different game play, different target audiance, different need and taste. So why have guys that only play 360 in their life review PS3 when the PS3 and 360 owners are clearly not one and the same? When the game score is vastly different from the score given by the gaming community (well, beside K&L), it is not to say game reviewer is at fault or not fair, but, rather, we have the wrong person reviewing the wrong game that cannot see from what general PS3 audiance is seeing in these games. It's one thing to have a guy that spend majority of time on PS3 bashing one game, but I dare you to say the same for someone who had reviewed a PS3 exclusive when the only PS3 game he ever owned is warhawk.

QFT!

Uncharted should be Game of the Year (for consoles), but it's going to be shadowed by an unoriginal, been there done that Halo 3.
