"A few points of note..."

take a look here:

http://www.gamerankings.com/itemrankings/bestworst.asp

Now, a few things I have noticed looking briefly at this are*:

 • Only one PS2 game has ever been rated higher than Mario 64
 • Nintendo games control the top 3
 • Since December, the PS2 has accounted for 11 of the 20 worst games released on all platforms
 • Halo on XBOX is as good as anything that has ever come out for PS2
 • XBOX does however have 4 games in the all time worst 20 games, more than any other latest gen console











*Any muppet can also refute these findings with any number of alternative ways of interpreting the data, but if the anti-Ninty fanboys are allowed to selectively read statistics, then so am I.

I would have thought that that is because it has been around longest. Successfull companies who produce successful games can pump money into producing new games for new formats and reap more success, where as smaller developers keep grinding out tosh for the established PS2.

I had noticed however how Gamecube games seem to be more about game play than their other next gen counterparts.

I hereby label these results as 'balls'.

Mario Kart (original) aint on there.

The PS2 isn't so dominant that it should be able to out-muscle all the other platforms combined (XBOX, GC, GBA *and* PC) in terms of producing utter crap.

But it does anyway.

Paintbrawl looks baaaaad!

Didn't SR do a massive review for a paintballing game once in their magazine?

Mario Kart got 82.0%, but given that it wouldn't have had many online reviews until the N64 was available, it's understandable.

I hope you mean baaaaaad is in god awful, it's rated as the worst game ever, which is quite an achievement.

I'm also impressed that 'Hooters road trip' made it into the all time worst 20 games, twice.

Thats impressive.

Nintendo: 124 games reviewed with an average rating of 81.8%
Microsoft: 102 games reviewed with an average rating of 75.2%
Sony: 190 games reviewed with an average rating of 72.2%

Speaks for itself really.
