Shame on you if you didn't buy Madworld. You need to reconsider.

I don't put much stock in any 1 particular professional review over another. However, when you group them all together and achieve an "average" of sorts as metacritic does, I believe that stands for something. 1 sample means little. Multiple samples get you closer to accuracy.

Personally, I believe it's the other way around. One review can give me a great idea of what the game is, if I have some sort of relationship to the person writing the review. On an aggregated score, that personal connection gets lost, and it's impossible to make any qualifying statements about the game. That's how I see it, anyway.

That's a very interesting way to look at it.  I'm just thinking of statistics (which I use at work).  One data point on a graph is statistically insignificant.  The more data points you add, the more accurate your graph.  There are outliers here and there, but the majority of the points should fall relatively close to one another.
