You want to know the sad part. You still missed a ton of fun games because all you care about is a opinionalized score. There are many games retail and network that are really good but are different in the expereince or lacking some area in which a reviewer decided to be a prick and deduct more points off the overall score then what the game deserved. So I have to ask this to you. Do I really have to being GTAIV into this convo because we all know it doesnt deserve anywhere close to the score it received. It is a shining example of how broken score based systems are and how badly we need more critic style reviews like the movie industry.

No im serious. Its not like I can stumble upon these games on my own easily, I don't have friends who like to talk about them so where do I get information from?
I even stated quite clearly in a later post (which I guess you didn't read) that the score is just a point of first interest. Obviously I have to decide before hand whether or not I will like the game before I buy it, so it goes Metacritic -> Reviews -> Trailers/Impressions of others and before I even think about buying it I consider the developer, the genre etc.
Im intelligent enough to read a few reviews and find out why a game got a high score. If it was innovation from an old game then obviously that may not be so impressive 3 years later. Polish, engaging storyline etc. You can find out not only what type of game it is but how you'll like the game. I challenge you to tell me where else I might find a better source for looking up old games than Metacritic?
Tease.
