user reviews are crap. Most users take the extreme and pick either 9 or 10 for a game they like or 5 or 6 for a game they hate. I trust professionals over average user scores any day.
Especially when fanboys are involved. If they liked a game even a little bit, but they want their game to do well, or tell people "you should buy this game!" they'll rate it a 9 or 10. Telling someone to buy a game and rating it high are two different things, but you don't get that from user reviews.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release. (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )
