Gamespot getting worse?

Speaking as an official-review-site-neutral viewer, where exactly did Gamespot begin to decline? I'm just interested to hear different viewpoints.

[QUOTE=JasonhasRSI][QUOTE=hi there]Gamespot has gotten better. They used to have a (very obivous) bias against the N64. Hell, the only reason they gave good scores to some of the better games (Mario 64, OOT, Goldeneye) is because they knew that people would get angry if they gave the low scores they WANTED to give to those games.

Thankfully, they seem to have given up all bias.

Hmm, I never noticed the N64 Bias, only the 9.9s, 10s, etc received by OOT, Perfect Dark, and the like. Which of your favorite games received a score lower than you had hoped?

I've never played it, but I know that Majora's Mask was given an 8.3.

Yeah, that's another Gertsmann review. There was an "On the Spot" a while back where Gertsmann was trying to convince Rich Gallop that Majora's Mask was a terrible game. Rich liked it and defended it, but Gertsmann remained firm. Personally, I absolutely love Majora's Mask.
