Well did MS pay GS for the best and worst feature or what.No i am serious.

LIAR ign said uncharted had the best graphic ont on ANY console to DATE!!!!michael48891

Funny how cows scream conspiracy at GS but say nothing about IGN which has a proven history of selling reviews. Ever think they were paid off for this one? :o

No its just poor helpless lil Sony being victimised by all those big business mean game sites :cry:

360 multiplats are better. Its a fact, if there is no difference in content and the 360 has better frame rates or graphics then its just too bad for the PS3.

COD 4 is an acheivement for the 360, so is most of the games that come out on 360. For a console that was release in 2005 this machine is outperforming the PS3, anyone predict this?

Its not been a good year for PS3, it started to pick up recently but not enough in time for GS to herald Sony as golden balls this year for most things. Next year PS3 will catch up and maybe even overtake 360 though.

We were talking about the PC here too you know...
The orange box is a PC package, period.

But it's called lemmingspot for a reason. ;)

yeah, and for all the Orange Box nominations it says (PC,360) :shock:-Sniper99-

Yes, Microsoft paid us to use 360 box art, as they pay us off for a lot of other odds and ends, which explains why I drive a Beamer, eat caviar daily, and take my private jet to work. It's a life****I'd only hitherto dreamed about. Kevin-V

I don't think Microsoft has paid you guys or anything.
But why use a 360 cover at a games which "officially" is seen as a PC game?

have you played all the games u just mentioned atleast?

Thinker_145

The same reason multi games had Playstation 2 Logo's on them last gen.

Who cares? The versions are noted for all the platforms. Maybe next time Gamespot should just cut off the platform portion in the picture. :roll: XanderZane

Except virtua fighter 5, I might have to re-check but I think only the 360 version got nominated.

A lot of that stuff is simply arbitrary, not a grand conspiracy. Chances are, we just chose box art without much regard for which one we chose. Though speaking in terms of reason may be lost on this crowd. I also wonder about the thought that Orange Box is "officially seen" as a multiplatform game. Did some governing body I am not aware of determine that since HL2 was originally a PC game mean that The Orange Box is only an unofficial 360 game?

The fact is that, yes, a lot of the multiplat. games do look better on 360, but not all.

cuz its M$ with a BIG $.

[QUOTE="Thinker_145"]

Every single multiplatform game shows the 360 box art:|.I mean even for orange box which is obviously superior on the PC and the PC version should be the lead for this game atleast if you know what i mean.

And then in the best technical graphics they show the 360 version of COD4 when the graphics are obviously better on the PC.They are trying to pass that it's a 360 game.

And then the nail in the coffin goes with ace combat 6 getting nominated for best technical graphics instead of uncharted.:|

And that's not all,GS tries to pass the wii library as total garbage by not nominating MP3 in the top 5 wii games.I mean just look at the other wii nominations apart from mario galaxy.

And even then it's not finished as it seems like MS was not happy with UT3 getting late on the 360 so it was not nominated in the best multiplayer.:|

Consoletant

Here is the reason... Are you ready?

For every Orange Box/COD4 game that sold for PC, at least 3-4 times that sold for the Xbox 360.

I was thinking about that just this morning. Me thinks I'll be taking an extended vacation too. The level of IQ seems to have fallen sharply lately.

I was just bored and coming in to keep myself occupied anyway. Seriously, it's just box art. By using a particular platform's box art, we're not making some kind of pro-anything statement. It's just a box. With art. Kevin-V

and doen't cod4 look better on ps 3? ace combat 6 wtf.GARRYTH

Nay. The console versions are identical. The PC version is better however. As for the thread, stop being such a fanboy. They're not trying to "pass it off as a 360 game", as if anyone logging into gamespot to see what won best graphics of the year doesn't know that COD4 is a PC game too? Come on...

Also, i grow so very tired of every positive xbox-related thing being the result of microsoft "paying people off." Grow up. Who gives them this money? Bill gates? Do you think they have a special wing set up for the paying off of internet video game reviewers? What do they even have to gain from that? Unless they pay off ALL OF THEM, but then wouldn't that be obvious by now? Wouldn't all the games incorrectly reviewed AAA be piling up by now? Wouldn't we know something wrong was amiss?

Stop this silliness.

Its rather simple really, the 360 has the best exclusive games and the best versions of games.

That CNET kicked Jeff is a preatty sad story. But I still don't think it has influenced GameSpots reviews.
I've never used GameSpot as one singel source for reviews/scores because that's IMO incredibly stupid. By logic is several sources bound to be more accurate than one source.
I usually go by GameRankings and IGN, Matt and Boz has the same taste for games that I have. :P

Microsoft isn't losing billions on X360 because they have the newest technology or because they built a quality unit. That money is going somewhere. It's ignorant to assume the most profitable company in the history of mankind doesn't pay people off or influence the media. Heck they even own their own news channel MSNBC.

Even if they did pick the best version of the game, the PC versions are always, ALWAYS better than the 360 ones.
