Review numbers are ridiculous. I now pledge I will not use them at all.

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.

Ahh, that may of been the article I read, that I found out about how the industry uses it to make business decisions.

 

 

 

This article was published yesterday. It might have been another one.
