Lately, I have seen more and more bias reviews from websites trying to either get people to go to their website or favoring one console or the other. I and many others are frustrated from these reviews because we all just want to know if the game is good or bad.
So recently, I have been searching through the websites and trying to find the website that is least bias than the others.
One was Gamespot.com. Though they show a little bit more bias for the 360 in terms of scores, they generally give great reasons why or why not to by a game for all the games. They also have user scores and reviews to see if they gave the game the right score.
Another one would be a little known website called classicgameroom.net. For some history, The Game Room was the first site to have video reviews on the internet in 1999. Because it was before DSL, it was impossible to see the videos. Nearly a year later, they went bust. Now, they are back and posting reviews again. Classic Game Room is not bias to any console and focuses more on gameplay then anything else. Though they do not post a score, they give you a ton of information on the gameplay.
If you disagree with me, please post it on the comments below to help everyone including me to find a better website for reviews.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Am I ironically biased for saying I think most of my own reviews are mostly unbiased? XD
Anyway, when I review stuff at rpgland.com, my point is to convey my opinion of a game based on how it plays, overall. The system, to me, doesn't matter, the series name or developer doesn't matter; it's all about the game in question. We might remove "scores" some day because sometimes all people do is look at a number and not read the text. That's disappointing, because then your site gets labeled as "biased" unfairly by people who don't read WHY a reviewer feels the way he/she does.
So anyway, there's that.
First off, this whole "unbiased review" thing is not even worth it. That's an argument for people who compare scores, not people interested in the game itself. It behooves those truly looking to purchase to read the review and learn to read between the lines.
Remember how some called Killzone 2 "too grey"? Now, I don't like shooters much. And I don't own the game and I don't want to own it. But I know "too grey" isn't something that would put me off purchase. As long as the review presents worthwhile information, even a terrible write up may sway you toward the game if you can pick out the facts.
I've never read a GI review and felt that it contained bias.
You are correct about sites that are a lil fishy. Especially the unknown sites that give a controversial review just to get hits. Halo ODST is a perfect example. All the respected and major sites have given this game a 9 or up while at the bottom of the list is a bunch of weird ass sites I never heard of giving it 7 and under. I just read a site called TheGo giving it a 5. :p
Game Informer are usually spot on with all their reviews. That's all I really pay attention too.
giant bomb isn't bad either. one of the site's founders was fired from his old job because he being honest about a game...
