Bioshock 96 Portal 91 Call of Duty 4 94 Forza Motorsport 2 90 Braid 93 Would be considered an awesome collection, and they also all deservedly scored 90+ ratings. Whereas the games you listed had flaws which prevented them from reaching the same rating. Hey I like to keep an eye on the scores. Its an awesome discovery to find another awesome game out there, and without Metacritic I would have missed out on quite a few gems - especially from the previous generations Like ICO and Shadow of the Collossus.

When you say flaws what are you referring too exactly ? . Gaming isn't an exact science you can't say Halo for example was 95% good and 5% flawed wheras new features in Halo 2 caused am improvement by 2.52% although less than stellar graphics in Halo 3 brought meant it scored 5% less than it would have done .
The true measure of what a "good game" is , is how the end user finds the experience, it's already been established that a "good game" is really subjective , I'm not saying Reviews aren't good indicators as I regularly look at reputable reviewers for an indication of the quality of a game for their but I wouldn't see aggregate opinion of less than a 100 reviewers as definitive( I wouldn't even care what popular opinion was concerning a particular game).
Does anyone look for reviews on say.... music albums ? I don't personaly I just search everything with the help of recomendations but really finding good entertainment is something you have to do for yourself.
