I'm curious , does the 90+ rating improve the gameplay experience for you than a 89.9 game ? . Does a 89 rating cause some of the games coding to go faulty causing framrate problems and pop in issues ?. I guess opinion is most weapon for fanboys.

This obsession with 90+ Ratings is pointless and your probably only pushing it so hard because the XBOX 360 has the most 90+ rated games out of the 3, in truth I still think other consoles offer better gaming libarys regardless of what the reviewers give.

Uncharted 88
BloomBox 85
Ratchet and Clank 89
Resistance Fall of Man 86
Motorstorm 82 .

All the above are excellent games (10/10) imo but none scorred 90+ aggregate.

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 Halo 2 improved by 2.52% .

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.

Your looking to much into it, there just a lot of games over a 9 and you can argue all you want but it is a good thing, I just means there quite a lot of good games, of cours games beneath a 9 can be good, but thats not the point.
