| SnakeEyez said: WTF?!? That's odd. I checked it out after the EDGE review and saw that it was already posted on Metacritic and had 30 reviews and it was still 89. Now it's at 90 and no score has been added since the last time I checked, hmm. In fact, I did the math and came to the conclusion that it WONT get to 90 (as well as Uncharted 2 not making it to 98). Oh well, I planned on buying this game regardless of score. |
Different reviewers affect the overall score differently (i.e. the score is weighted, so IGN reviews impact the score more than the newest, most untested reviewer metacritic has decided to include in its listings).
I bet they have 2 steps in their update process, where first they'll upload the EDGE score to the list, and then they (or some algorithm) will apply their formula and find a new aggregate score.
