Variety can think whatever they want, honestly I just stopped caring. Metacritic has always been a joke in my opinion. I have stated this for quite some time now. They can't even distinguish the difference between an A and an A+. This goes for games on all consoles. The only thing they are consistent in is being wrong. Dead give away for me was when 1UP said in an article "We rated Fable II an A and somehow Metacritic translated that into a 100". Do you need to think any further?
They should just fade away.
As I said plenty of times. You want mainly high profile gaming site review averages? Go to Gamerankings. When have you heard anyone bitch about them? They also get the number grading right. Metacritic supposedly rates their letter system from 0-100, meaning pretty much 8 points per letter grade (F-A+ I believe, 13 grades right? Somewhere around 7.69 per grade). Now why does B- to C+ range 12 points? Easy, to cover up for the A and A+ rating laziness. It is not between these 2 grades either, you will see plenty of them being seperated by more than they should be due to them idiotically assuming an A and an A+ = same exact score. *facepalm*
Do you want more than just those high profile game sites? Do you want them all and not just a pick and choose basis where a blog gets in but some other sites do not? Go to N4G. They leave nothing out.
There are 2 much better choices.
All my opinion, so relax if someone has some response of epic proportions. 
iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.
