Well metacritic is made by Westerners, so ofcourse they score western games higher.

How about i take Famitsu scores and hand out points by their ratings?!?!

We must be looking at different Metacritics because last I looked Metacritic doesn't actually score games, they just average all reviews.

What i'm saying is 99% of the reviews taken into account for making up the metacritic score is from Western websites.

Of course the western games will get high scores.

Japan magazines/websites aren't taken into account.

And you're proof is where ? What if those Western websites are sick of always the same Western styled games and they give the Japanese games some extra points for being more creative (or whatever) ? I have no proof for my claim and you don't have any for yours.

If you can find reviews for a game from Famitsu and 49 other Asian sources, go for it. I doubt you'll see much difference to the Metascores.
