I agree with Jarrod that the stats are confusing and seem cherrypicked in this article. Why does it include games ranging from a metascore of 100 to around 70, but not all the games in that range? How were the games included chosen? If it were including all the games from 100-70 it would be fine. That would be a "vertical slice" as Jester said, I think. In fact, I've seen another article, and even just forum posts, that do just that. They would make a much better source than this article. Really, it doesn't even take that long to tally up all the exclusive games between 70 and 100 yourself (or even between 80 and 100).

I just want to point out that between 100 - 70 meta rating is on single platform 429 games, 100 - 80 195 games. So this is pretty impossible to do for single person.
ALSO, the point was to compare EDGE reviews to the industry standart, chosen were high profile games. Some games from 100-80 range weren't even reviewed by EDGE. This is handpicked top tier of titles, in the graphs you can read which titles these were.

The problem is, he gave no methodology for how the "top 30" were chosen. And even calling it a "top 30" is disingenuous, that's not even what it is.
