Ranking of Harshest, Kindest Game Reviewers

Posted by Zonk on from the which-side-of-their-bread-is-the-butter-on? dept.

GameDailyBiz has an interesting feature up right now discussing which sites and magazines are harshest and kindest with their game reviews. Surprisingly the study shows that, overall, the multi-platform online sites aren't terribly biased, with some being somewhat nicer than the average and some somewhat harsher. Single console gaming magazines end up having the most forgiving coverage, with mainstream news sources being the harshest critics.

    ...some being somewhat nicer than the average and some somewhat harsher

    No way! In a group of sources, some are above average and some are below? Who could have guessed?

      That's a bit mean.

      Looks can be deceiving. Or CAN they?

    The meta-review is pedestrian, at best. 2 out of 5 stars.
