SnakeEyez said: well its at 88 so I would say around 89, MAYBE (big maybe) 90. Variety just gave it a 70 (whoever they are) which lowered it to an 88. It's weird, I clicked on their review, and didnt find a number at all, yea it was negative, but still, no number. Is Metacritic making up numbers? |
'Variety' is a relatively new games reviewer metacritic have added.
They gave LittleBigPlanet it's lowest review score: an 80. (15 points below average)
And now Resistance 2 it's lowest score: a 70 (18 points below average)
Sheesh.
Then the gave Fable II a 9.8 (8 points above the average)
and Fallout 3 a 9.7 (4 points above average)
They've only given a few reviews, but already their reviews seem to deviate quite a bit from more mainstream media outlets.
Edit: They also don't apparently give scores on their site, instead their editor just tells metacritic the score.

So is this wat 1up does with metacritic as well? They gave R2 a B+ and Metacritic has that as a 83 (5 points or so from what a B+ really is) and yet they gave Gears 2 an A and Metacritic has that as a 100. I don't think a logical person would think that there is a 17 point difference between a B+ and an A.

We are not 100% sure on what metacritic does with 1up, but they are hated now by the ps3 fans so what does it matter. Oh and IGN is the site to go now.
I honestly miss the days when xbox 360 owners never cared about review scores.

I don't hate 1up, I will say that they do seem very fanboyish. I also don't hate metacritic, it shows me a games reviews all in one site. Oh and I fixed that to u. I don't see many PS3 fans having the amount of 90% + games in their sig or making threads about so and so console having so and so AAA games by the end of the year.
