Why are people talking about James Bond?
On topic:
Well when one review can f#ck the average metacritic review for the game, then Id say the reviews arent fair , example Ratchet and Uncharted both AAA titles, are they considered? No.
Why? Because a beutiful website known as GAMESPOT decided to give them both a score of 74, then again reviewers can be ass holes at times, but really who cares. I love resistance and its at 87, I dont care if the reviewer gives it a 5, sure I would complain that the review would make no sense, but again Im the gamer thats enjoying the game.
