How else would you know if Super Mario Galaxy is truly greater than Ocarina of Time? Because Game Rankings averages the scores of compilations of multiple reviews, it is stronger than a single opinion, not just because more reviews are better than one opinion, but because the reviews are most oftenly done, professionally, by other, major websites. Sure, there is no super computer that pin points a number-based fact, on how good a game truly is, but Game Rankings is the closest thing. Opinions do have meaning, but are not as accurate as many opinions combined. Personally, I like the Mario games more than the Zelda games, but universally, the Zelda games got better reviews than the Mario games. One will use their own opinion over the fact, but one cannot use their own opinion to become the fact. Reviews are not everything. They only serve as a guidance. I cannot have an opinion on a game that I have not played, because I do not know if it is worth spending the money for, so the next best thing is to read the reviews.
