Why are GS so quick to review PS3/360 games but tend not to rush Wii reviews?

I havent been on here for a week or 2 but noticed that several sites have reviewed Tenchu, Deadly Creatures but as per usual GS tend to be lack lustre towards the Wii, Why is this? It seems quite usual that the Wii is seen as a 2nd rate system by GS reviewers as they seem to review PC/360/PS3 roughly 20 seconds after or before every other site but when it comes to the Wii, The Wii owners have to wait untill doomsday. This is quite usual as if it isnt several years after every other websites review they just dont bother.

Many PC games didnt get reviews last year, and most of the multiplats were copy-paste from the 360 version? Left4Dead equal on 360 to PC dont make me laugh.

It's not just Wii. GS just takes a while reviewing games. While I don't really know what goes on at Gamespot, it might be due to a lack of staff or something.

IGN has reviews on KZ2 and GS doesn't. Do some research before posting ridiculous claims. Plus wii games don't deserve reviews.

Learn to read the post which says "Well its not my opinion as i tend to buy what i like. Its just Wii owners normally complain "Oh Wiiz neva get reviewed" instead of jumping on my case.

GS is slow in general, and for some reason they choose to review games like Nancy Drew, as if people who come to this site will actually play such a game. I come here for System Wars, not reviews.

Gamespot is slow with every platform..unless its a "big game" you know the mainstream money sellers im sure the reviews will be up....and will be solid....why should you care though...if its getting good reviews..go out and give the games a shot.

So Nintendo games like Super Mario Galaxy don't deserve reviews, don't make me laugh.

What, so now the higher standards on PC doesn't count? Classic System Wars twist.

Unless it's a huge title, GS takes forever to review everything. There STILL isn't a review for the DS version of World at War, and it came out three farking months ago.
