 Because it is?

Metacritic measures the quality of each game, based on the average of 50 plus reviews per game.

Im sorry but only Nintendo fans bring out the "Metacritic means nothing" card out because the wii turley doesnt have very good games *atleast for this year* compared to the ps3 or xbox 360.

 

Oh please, Leo. I see PS3/360 fans complain about reviews every time a game they expect to review well doesn't. I remember people saying Uncharted was robbed because it was <90 on metacritic: that Resistance was a much better game than advertised: I remember people complaining about any 8.0 that MGS4 review got; I remember people insisting that Banjo was a much better game than was suggested by reviewers; I remember Sony fans insisting 1up was in Microsoft's pocket after their crazy Gears of War review, and insisting that the EGM Chief Editor, Dan Hsu, was an Xbot. The list goes on and on. PS3/360 fans complain about reviews with regularity -- and likely, I could find you doing the same, if I were to scrounge through your ten thousand post history.

Of course, like any fanboy (Nintendo ones included) you only complain when the reviewer or reviewers don't suit your personal agenda. When they do suit your agenda -- for example, when you want to show that the Wii "clearly" has worse games than the PS3/360 this year -- then suddenly reviewers are all okay, and the system works after all.

Or you could be like me: I consistently state that reviews are out of whack and that a drastic overhaul needs to be made. Even when the reviewers agree with me, seeing as my favorite game this year was Braid.
