Comments on: Metacritic: 2009 multiplat games better on Playstation 3 http://www.smgamers.com/?p=470 SMG: Subatomic Mutant Gamers are individual gamers arising or resulting from an instance of mutation. That's right. Look it up.

We know that there are graphical differences, certainly...and the PS3 version has received lower scores because of it but read the reviews. Reviews don't think the graphical differences hurt the overall enjoyment of the game. Graphics are just one part of a game, it's not what defines if one version is better than the other. Plenty of reviews noticed the graphical differences and adjusted their reviews accordingly which is why it scored lower. That shows me that metacritic works. Have you played both versions of the game? Can you honestly say that one version having slightly worse textures and a lower resolution warrants a 10-20% difference rather then just a couple of points difference? Reviews have clearly told us that in this case it's not that big of a deal overall. Also, sorry your post didn't go up right away. Stuck in the Spam filter for some reason. We learn as we go! :) But says who? We know that there are graphical differences, certainly…and the PS3 version has received lower scores because of it but read the reviews.

Metacritic is simply an average score based on the amount of reviews out there. Just as TeamXbox isn't going to score PS3 games, Playstation magazine isn't going to score 360 games. Obviously developers and game makers take Metacritic scores deadly seriously, you can't simply write off the work they do, even if their methods aren't above criticism.

We all know the differences between the two consoles, which means Metacritic is BROKEN!!! Okay… but did you ever notice that Ghostbusters: The Videogame practically got the same scores on Metacritic?

Teamxbox's score, for instance, won't be factored into the PS3 version's score, for instance.
