Edge has an article on this subject: http://www.edge-online.com/features/is-metacritic-damaging-games-industry
EDIT: Only thing I dislike about this article is that it doesn't mention a correlation between metacritic scores and reviewer scores trying to match each other. I think this is as bad as publishers going by metacritic scores to decide on what to invest in and take out the innovation from games.
