Well, it's quite clear why: the silly search for "authority by proximity", and please underscore that "silly" a few times :)
Still those opinions are not worthless when you can't have an informed one... for example when you haven't played a game yet or you have just glanced a minute of it played in a shop or at a friend's.
Metacritic is a nice starting point to get informed and read a few reviews when deciding if investing your brows' sweat into a game is worth it :) Too bad the state of gaming journalism is still so pitiful.
