I don't want to pick a fight, but I think that many of the responses in this thread point to an attitude toward video game criticism much more dangerous than a few low-ball reviews.

You have to let go of this notion that there is some objective truth that should govern all video game reviews, and the idea that "AAA" titles can never fall below a certain threshold. Most of all, you need to abandon the false belief that a critic can't judge a genre or franchise he or she doesn't like to begin with. This in no way invalidates a review.

The purpose of a critic is to articulate a well-informed opinion in an interesting and artful way. That's it.

I think our expectations as fans are a lot more unreasonable than a 20 for Halo 4.

add the last of us - 60.

I have no idea why Metacritic are allowing these guys to submit reviews..

These guys are a joke. Get them off metacritic

It's free marketing "Oh, what are these guys that hate every big AAA so much ?"
They do this so we talk about it

lol their plan worked... their 6/10 review for Last of Us brought its meta score down to 95... idiots do it with every big release.

Another one is big pond arena or somethign like that, those guys are even worse.
