take a look here:

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.

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.

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.
