This is sad honestly but before you go on your crusade against metacritics let me bring somethings to your attention.
Halo 3 got a 70 from an unknown website.
Mass Effect (my favourite game this gen) got a 63 from an unknown website.
Fable 2 got a 60 from an unknown website.
Now, obviously these reviews were moneyhatted right....no of course not because they are someones opinion.
Now why is it that this issue is seen as a "ps3-exclusive"? Although reviews shouldnt affect your decision as much as this thread makes me to believe ,if your going to crusade against metacritics , dont discriminate against the 360 or wii because they are all affected by this and not only the ps3 (unless you believe every ps3 exclusive should have the god given right to get 80+ reviews , which is even more stupid compared to metacritics system which you all so painstakingly disagree with)
N64 is the ONLY console of the fifth generation!!!
