the reason is there is hype surrounding he 360 version. It's fresh and new so reviewers give it a higher rating When it comes out on PC, they've already seen it and the ratings are affected accordingly That doesnt make sense. You grade it as if its a new game. If i see a pc game that was ported from the 360, and then look at the review, i would think this game would suck (since reviews are always lower). This probably applies to those who don't have a 360 (like me ). You grade it on wants on the inside and not if it was ported. Maybe the scored it lower because it was just a simple port with minimal upgrades? But if it was Gamespot don't worry about it. They have been known to hand out retarded reviews.
