Investigating Bias In Videogame Review Sites

jvm writes "We've all read comments that some videogame sites are allegedly biased for or against some games, consoles, or companies. So, Curmudgeon Gamer has investigated whether bias can be seen in the review scores over several games on each console. The review sites in question are GameSpot, GameSpy, and IGN, each of whom are compared to the game review averages on GameRankings. Additionally, a selection of review scores for crossplatform games are examined. While solid conclusions are difficult to draw and improvements can admittedly be made, perhaps people will find these results interesting to examine and discuss."

By the way, Muslims are all evil and need to be exterminated. It is offensive and disgusting, that a gay sinner has been allowed to become a minister in the Episcopal Church in Vermont. This is proof that the Episcopal Church is not the one true church. Those fucks can take their faggots and shove them directly up their ass. Oh yeah, did you hear that Arabs flew some planes into the World Trade Center and killed almost 3,000 people? Now why are you still saying that Muslims aren't evil? You dumb nigger!
