MAG is a great game according the gamespot. I predicted an 8 on gs and an 8 metacritic score. it looks like my perdiction i made after playing in the beta will hold. MAG is GREAT 8.0

You basically took 4 games and dragged out. The PS3 is the home for the biggest flops this generation and has been since the beginning. It has had several Daikatana's. At least there's God Of War 3.

I don't think he said the 360 only had FPS exclusives, and I'm pretty sure the 2 consoles libraries aren't just AAA's :P

Honestly, one should not judge a game's quality based on anothers opinion. However this is SW and I have observed that most games fall under the A or AA score. It takes a really broken game to get below a 7.0 in most sites. This basically gives little respect to A or AA games to me. They are given out so much it's almost like a C in grade school.

chicagodon

8.0 means "Get Mass Effect 2 and Bioshock 2 instead." And for the sake of clarity, it has a 7.6 on Metacritic at present. If you took an exam and got a 76, would you say, "Wow, I did GREAT!"?

He commented on the PS3's exclusives, exaggerating on the amount of FPS exclusives there are. It turns out the PS3 has plenty of variety in their exclusive list for AAA games while the 360 doesn't. The AA list is ALOT bigger and if you wanna go through that go ahead but overall the PS3 has alot more variety in their exclusives as oppossed to the 360's top games which tend to be shooting or racing games. It's not a bad thing if you like those games but I think people exaggerate the amount of shooting exclusives the PS3 has. Out of the three they have invested more in new IPs and great single player experiences.

Both 360 and PS3 have compelling, exclusive games. It's all just a matter of preference. "Both" is the best choice, budget permitting.

So does this mean Halo 3 and ODST are 'Superb'? :P

Good score though, was expecting less to be honest.

And games under 7.0, even sometimes implied by Gamespot themselves, aren't worth playing. Unlike Eurogamer, Gamespot doesn't have a balanced review scale. Games that are mediocre recieve 6.0-7.5's, while good games recieve 8.0-8.5 and great games 9.0-9.5. While mediocre games should be recieveing 5.0's, good 6.5-7.5's and greats 8.0-9.0.

Don't pay attention to the score. Talk about what the review says.

My comment was not on which library of exclusives was better but a comment on the variety. I can objectively say one has more variety then the other. That doesn't mean it's better or worse, thats up to the gamer to decide. One could be happy with either system and if shooter, racing and playing online is your thing then your in heaven with the 360 but overall I personally prefer the variety in exclusives of the PS3's line up.

Any game where you can try a beta or a demo, and enjoy yourself a lot is worth playing and buying. Your own opinion trumps any score, from anyone. Me, I didn't care for it.

And an 80 is a passing grade, but you know that it's really not that impressive (just ask your daddy as he's whipping you with his belt for getting such a low grade).

But most people don't just play AAAe games, but you can play SW game id you want, I know you love to! :P

Your right, and some people don't play shooters or platformers or RPGs or JRPGs etc... My point is that everybody hasn't different preference and the only way to have any form of organized discussion in SW is to talk about exclusives, all of them and of course go buy GS's standard for quality because again, everyone has their own personal preference for good games. I don't think it's an insult to say the 360 has less variety in their top games. It's a very accurate statement and for the most part those are the games that have sold the best too. The truth is most people play multiplats and we don't talk about them at all in SW unless one has a better port. Each system has great games but MS is DEFINATELY catering to their target audience by investing heavily in shooters and racers. That's perfectly fine.
