Hey guys, remember when I mentioned those 96's from Jolt and Play.tm?
Anyways, a member on Metacritic forums messaged the guy who runs the scores asking why they were not added yet, I found it very interesting to say the least.
Well Metacritic interpreted the B+ that Resistance 2 got from 1up as an 83, which clearly is wrong if an A/A+ is a 10.
This site is the most inconsistent site I have ever seen, and it's because there is only 1 game editor. Each system should have it's own editor that tracks score and corrects errors.
Marc Doyle is consistently inconsistent, for example, in a recent email he stated this to me:
But if you look at all the top ps3 games recently, like Resistance 2, Uncharted, MGS4, and LBP, all those games (and more) all got scores from all 3 of those sites.
Heck, MGS4 got 3 different 80's, from Ferrago, Jolt, and PlayTM. But now that Killzone 2 would benefit from such scores, now suddenly "they are all the same".
I am still waiting comment from Marc on this blatant double standard that somehow just went into effect on this site.

1up was just added, playTM is also known as "ferrago", jolt's reviews are the same as playTM's and X-play is the same as G4 TV.

Scratch that. Looking into it further it seems they just started doing this very recently. The same outcome happened to Gears of War 2.
Ignore the foolish person who posted this message and carry on. 
iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.
