As most gamers are well aware, Madden 09 will be available tomorrow on all platforms. In anticipation of its release, I tried to read a few reviews of the game for various platforms and encountered a familiar problem: how do you compare different versions of the same game on the various platforms?

Take Madden for example. The PS3 and 360 versions are very similar in appearance and features. The Wii version, dubbed Madden All-Play 09, is not only stripped down visually (duh) but also contains a number of Wii-specific controls and game modes. Intriguing but how does one choose between, say, the PS3 version and the 360? What about the 360 edition versus that found on the Wii? Does an 8.3/10 for the PS3 edition translate equally to an 8.3/10 for the Wii?

All this leads finally to my ultimate question for the CP gamers out there: is there a site or some other method you use in order to compare different versions of the same game on the various platforms? And the corollary: hoow do you choose which version of a game to purchase?
