When Fanboys Attack: Metacritic Scores

In a not so perfect society, AKA this one, fanboys would use the user score on Metacritic to discourage people to buy a certain game that's on a console they dislike. Let's take LittleBigPlanet for example: the game has gotten a very good 95% from professional reviewers but only a 64% user rating. Why the big difference? Well, apparently, Xbox fanboys have stormed the site and are purposefully giving the game a low score to sabotage the Playstation 3.

Not about to be one-upped, Playstation fanboys have done the same exact thing to the Xbox 360's upcoming blockbuster: Gears of War 2, which at the moment is rated 27% by users; apparently, over 700 people have had a chance to play this game almost a month before release.
Come on guys, can't we all just get along. Both LittleBigPlanet and Gears of War 2 look like they will be very solid games; why can't they coexist? More importantly, why can't you Xbox fanboys and Playstation fanboys coexist without blowing up the internet? This kind of stunt is placed right between prank phone calls and ding dong ditches on a scale of maturity.

Let's grow up a bit guys. (Culture, Gears of War 2, LittleBigPlanet, PS3, Xbox 360)
