Quite a difference in score between the Wii and PS3 editions of HOTD OK. An B vs a D.
Given that most of the weaker points appear to be the same in both versions, does the critic really feel that the quality of the average game on Wii and PS3 is that different (as the critic grades against other games on the same system as much against ports of the game on other systems)?

Anyways good reviews overall.
The Shoot- I personally like the feel of this game. But you're right, the controls are not perfect, especially the dodging parts. I would have rated it higher, but I understand your viewpoint.
Killzone 3- Technically Killzone 3 is 1st rate. The feel of the combat, graphic technology and controls (if you avoid the move) are first rate. However, its another boring grey shooter. And the Move controls aren't very good as you said. The game did ship with bugs. I know they've released patches fixing some of them, but a game should be reviewed as it is out of the box. Your review is right on.
House of the Dead Overkill - I played this game for the Wii and loved the gameplay. The characters and "mature" feel were lame and made the game embarrassing though as you said. I was hoping the PS3 version would be the ultimate version. However, if the controls are terrible, then you are left with a bad game with terrible themes. Thanks for the review, I will avoid it.

Would you blame Microsoft for a buggy Halo game?

Will you be rereviewing the Wii original now? Sounds like a lot of your complaints are due to the same content present on the original release.
I thought a B was overly generous for that game after butchering most of what made the series so enjoyable to start with.
