See I like keeping the scores. I don't actually use the scores for anything...
but doing so lets me know on Metacritic (more or less) which reviewers liked the game most. Which liked it least.
Whenever there is a game i want to buy i'm iffy on I pick the top 3 metacritic and bottom 3 metacritic reviews and read them to see what the strengths and weaknesses are.
What i find ironic is.... 9 times out of 10 the top and bottom reviews list pretty much all the same positives and negatives, and just give them varying levels of importance.
The difference between a 90 and a 60 could be so little as.... nothing but the reviewer. So honestly i don't think they review games as software either. They just don't review games in general. They just say "Hey what do I think about this product."
While software reviewers tend to think "Hey what will people think about this product." At least in software reviews they consider the likes and dislikes and whats important to the average customer... even if it's technical use.
While vidoegames... it's just one guys opinion about his expierence... which in the end is relatable to nobody.
