Title: Weekly Poll 12/2/07 Post by: shaggy on December 02, 2007, 11:56:23 AM Do you think reviewers are biased in their reviews?
Title: Re: Weekly Poll 12/2/07 Post by: Funk_Buddy on December 02, 2007, 03:43:47 PM Yes, even back in the early 90's you could tell.
Title: Re: Weekly Poll 12/2/07 Post by: Tondog on December 02, 2007, 03:59:23 PM Sure. I do think they are. Case in point: anything on PS3 that Gamespot reviews.

Title: Re: Weekly Poll 12/2/07 Post by: shaggy on December 04, 2007, 03:43:54 PM I picked yes, it depends on the reviewer and their company. I figured some of the reviews could be biased by the person writing them but when I saw the Gamespot blurb I was shown the light and the error of my ways.

Title: Re: Weekly Poll 12/2/07 Post by: Speedy_NES on December 06, 2007, 11:25:01 AM I also picked that it depends on the reviewer and their company...it was mostly an assumption in the past, but the recent Gamespot thing gave that thought some more credibility I guess ;)
Title: Re: Weekly Poll 12/2/07 Post by: cyberfluxor on December 08, 2007, 11:30:40 PM Every article I've read has some bias and usually some crap reasons for their conclusion. I really hate it when numerical values don't average out properly for certain games, somewhat as a round-up/down method to make a game look better or worst overall. It's nothing to be suprised about though as when we, the gamers respond about a game it's personal opinion and some bias to the genre, publisher, progamming team or some aspect of its creation.
