I hate talks of 'AAA games' and metacritic/gamerankings. Sure, the aggregate scores can be used as a general indicator, but it isn't the be all, end all. If a game had a 90 rating on metacritic I'd be sure to read up on it a bit more, but I wouldn't necessarily call it AAA.
I especially dislike when people set arbitrary scores for a ranking such as 'AAA'. Take a game like Uncharted for example, that felt like a top tier game to me and to be honest, that is all that's required for it to be AAA in my mind. It's a relative term, so what you think is all that really matters.
If we do judge AAA by aggregate scores then we completely ignore all of the cultural biases in our society which results in having basically only one consistent JRPG having a 90+ aggregate score. Of course, most of us JRPG fans know that Final Fantasy is the only AAA JRPG around. Right? (Sarcasm. And although FF is my favourite series, I can certainly acknowledge there are many other rpgs that lack the recognition they deserve. I'm sure there are many other games and genres that also fit this decription)
