87 GAMES ( Review-based Statistics)

The question is : over one year after the release of xbox360 , where we stand in terms of "reviewability" ?
I did some research into IGN and GAMERANKINGS and live to tell the story.

My Data Table

*Worth mention:
1. PGR3 is the most popular x360 racing game still Burnout revenge is higher rated. ( BURNOUT:88.8 - PGR3: 88.5)
2. Sonic the hedgehog is the only x360 platformer , sadly it's also among the 4 worst games.

if sonic is the only x360 platformer, then what's kameo?

Kameo is an adventure (for some sites "action adventure").

Oblivion is so overrated. I was so annoyed about how little progress we have made since Morrowind besides in the graphics department.

I feel Gears beats in both gameplay innovation - and of course graphics.

I think a lot of the reveiwers never played Morrowind or an ES game before. So all the things already executed in previous ES games was new and exciting to them.

Care to post the variance and the mean? Makes it much easier to understand how many of these games are actual shit and how many are very good. Even better, just post everything described here.

Oblivion > Gears is absurd.

COD2 > COD3 is absurd.

Where's the "ignore reviews from blacklisted reviewers" button on Gamerankings when you need it?

lol...

Is there any other game in this "A larger-than-life journey full of intense combat and magnificent exploration" genre on other platforms? Or is it just Kameo?

That's a very interesting topic, Groper.

It would be nice to have a similar recurrent take on all the available consoles (X360/PS3/Wii).
We'd have to take an average based Gameranking and Gamestats (IGN's Gameranking).

It would be a nice overview of the market, from a publisher and critical standpoint. That way we could judge the evolution of the gaming trends over the months.

Sonic The Hedgehog................46.8%

if sonic is the only x360 platformer, then what's kameo?

Adventure with antropomorphic little friends?

shh, don't tell anyone
