If IGN was the only publication around, then yes. If not, then Gears has totally owned Resistance 2 in terms of reviews.

And:

TeamXbox got it right with the score. Those texture issues will be solved by installing the game in the hard drive.

Definitely, one of the Game of the Year favorites.

If you guys want to translate this ranking to a 1-10 scale here it goes:

A+……100%
A………94%
A-……88%
B+……82% (Resistance 2 - 1UP Review)
B………76%
B-……71%
C+……65%
C………59%
C-……53%
D+……47%
D………41%
D-……35%
E+……29%
E………24%
E-……18%
F+……12%
F………6%
F-……0%

With the new release date of Resistance 2, we'll have to wait a bit more to know how it turns out in reviews.

In 2006, both launched head to head. This time around, Sony has learned the lesson that you just can't fight Gears of War 2 juggernaut.

The value of this good game will be better perceived once Gears 2 dust is settled so I think it's a wise decision to push the release back a little bit.

Now the question is if it will be enough time for the Gears of War 2 dust to settle.

Maybe because videos of this quality and size should be used for Nintendo DS vs. PSP comparisons.

How are we supposed to notice any difference in a low quality 5 inch video?

It seems that this guy missed this article:

The advantages and disadvantages in GTA IV could be found in both consoles. There was no clear "winner", other than maybe, in the framerate in favor of the Xbox 360, but not by a long shot.

In fallout, for what we can read at IGN, Gamespot and PSM, the differences were noticeable enough to ...

These polls are based on what the publishers showed for each console, which means, games that were still in production. What this tells us is that they were more impressed with the Xbox 360 lineup as a whole compared the others'; something that should eventually be reflected in the market in months to come.

Taking a look at things, you'll see that the Xbox 360 is already gaining momentum in Japan. It sold more software than the PS3 past week, and it has been constantly outselling...

Overall:

Console :
PSP 67,000
NDS 26,000
Wii 25,000
PS2 7,500
Xbox 360 6,900
PS3 4,100

Darn... The Xbox 360 is selling more software than the PS3 and almost as much as the PS2 in Japan.

This is getting crazy.

Just for the record, the PS2 was in 24 million by this timeline with an incredibly high trend curve compared to 16.5 million of the Ps3, with a much slower trend.

I don't really see any bias towards Xbox 360. They do reflect bias towards genres in my opinion. For example, it's damn hard for a shooter to get more than 8 (Gears of War i.e.) but RPGs and racers harvest them itso facto.

If you're talking about their "next gen versus" I believe they give the more technical accurate comparisons in all the web. One can argue opinion but what they give if technical facts.

I do expect Gears 2 to get an 8/10 from Eurogamer but...

First reviews tend to be higher.

We need to remember that reviews exclusivity is part of a business and IGN made a great deal of it with Sony. Having the first ever Resistance 2 reviews must have brought ludicrous amounts of clicks to their website. In exchange they can grant a few points above. Fair enough from a business stand point but not necessarily ethical.

We're going to see see more accurate reviews like this one down the road. Where business interests are no...

By the numbers, it was virtually a tie, and all points out that the Xbox 360 will outsell it by much more than that in the last Quarter of 2008. It's no secret that holidays is the most important season of the year.

I look at Charts like these almost every week of the year, yet some fanboy with a blog, managing inaccurate numbers tries to tell us that the PS3 is selling more software than the Xbox 360.

Just take a look at the Top 10. 60% of them are Xbox 360 titles, only 20% for PS3 and Wii respectively.

I don't see the Xbox 360 Review anywhere, but it got 9.0 on Gamespot.

Superior technical assets were mainly the reason.

6317d ago 5 agree2 disagreeView comment

Xbox 360 version got 9.0 on Gamespot.

Mostly due to technical problems in the PS3 version.

Good score by IGN. I honestly wasn't expecting it to be that high.

It will be interesting to see how it turns out with future reviews. The first ones always tend to be higher than the others.

"8.5 Presentation
The atmosphere and style are everything you could ask for and more. The PS3 version has shown us substantially more bugs than what you get on PC and 360."

Plus Exclusive Downloadable content. I believe there's no dilema here.

Xbox 360 and PC got 9.0 in this deparment by the way.
