EEDAR: 13 percent of Xbox 360 games have review score of 85 or higher

The Electronic Entertainment Design and Research (EEDAR), in team-up with EDGE, has studied how much of the Xbox 360 games can be considered "quality games", in terms of review scores.

According to their findings, from the years 2005 through 2008, of all the games that launched for Microsoft's console, only 13% scored 85 or higher in reviews. Meanwhile, 38% got a grade 65 or lower.

If we are to interpret these numbers then, it would appear that while there is a plethora of Xbox 360 titles out there, there are only a few that really do stand out. Then again, I'd say this scenario is not necessarily mutually-exclusive to this console.

Did they count by the number of games that are top or they did percentage? Percentage wise would be unfair seeing as the 360 and Wii has more games.

But speaking from owning both 360 and PS3 it's true. Out of all 360 games that I have, only some exclusives are good. But all the games Sony publishes(that seems to be their only exclusives) have been great. Problem with Sony is that no other devs/publisher seem to want to make games exclusive to them.

Its pretty obvious that more games means more potential for poor scoring games. They should scale these percentages to get more accurate results.

i own 6 games for my ps3 and they are woth every penny. cod4, kz2, mgs4, fo3, unreal 3, and orange box. normally i'm pretty adept at spotting *****ty games, so it would be nice to get some of those 360 exclusives, even with the higher risk of garbage.
