The NHL09 also confused me, but I think I get it. You're picking at the (90+ gamerankings) sigs?

This is why reviews are worthless.

edit: Because when I look at the average, it shows 89% vs 90%.

 

 You got it. I don't think reviews are worthless. I think saying a game is better than the other because more people reviewed the game to give it a higher average is just silly. and if this one game suffers from less people reviewing it (or at least site like metacritic and gamerankings refusing to put non american publications except a select few) how many more are like that?

Perhaps you haven't noticed, but the usual trend is that a game gets a lower and lower score as it gets more reviews.

 

 

 So why is the 360 version have a higher rating here? The reviewers that scored both version are identical.

My point in all of this is unless the scores are from a non variable (The reviewers never change [same amount of reviews by the same people]) quoting things like metacric is useless.
