Up is Down, Black is White

And also number of DS games under 30 - 5
Number of PSP games under 30 - 0

Interestingly I own all 5 of the games under 30.

metacritic doesn't have all of the review of every game on each handheld. If they did, the DS would have WAYYYYYY more higher scoring games than the PSP.

My memory blows, remind me of that argument.

Also, they don't matter, but I though this was something one wouldn't expect, and I tossed in a dash of hyperbole to make it fun.

Urgh, don't ask me to remember something so exact. I just have a distinct memory of you telling me that games scores didn't matter and that you should judge a review by what they have written rather than what they have graded it.

I personally draw the line of "good game" at 75 and not 80 myself, add with that personnal gaming taste that can make some games that get lower than 75 also appealing to some.

I usually don't care if a game got 80, 85, 90 or even 100, as long as I enjoy a game I don't care what score it got. Of course, the score it got might influence my decision, but I don't stop at the actual score and prefer to base my choice on the actual content of the reviews that are out there.

I just rent the ones that look to have any sort of appeal in them.

Review scores doesn't matter.
The PSP has the worst design for a handheld with scary ergonomics and the worst buttons layout.
DS has more fun and interactive games that you can play with the stylus.

When it comes to games, DS has a lot more games and backward compatible with the GBA. I'm not dissing the PSP, it has some very good RPG games, but the DS has more, and an extra screen.

It all comes down to what you want from a handheld, multimedia or games?

[Rainbow]

If you know what you're doing, you can have both multimedia and games on the DS (for some extra cost of course).

[MasterSword]

The difference is people actually buy games on the DS.

I do remember that, actually, and I stand by it. As I said before, hyperbole and fun.
