Will Demon's Souls win RPG of the Year?

The difference with these three games, as far as metacritics go, is the lowest score. Bowsers is sitting at 80, while DS has a bottom score of 60??? No way the game deserved a 60 from a "professional" journalist. If you read his review it seems like he had a bug up his ass for the game from the start (that or he never could figure out how to actually play the game)

All three of these games are deserving of the title, and whichever one wins out is fine with me (for overall) They will each win their respective consoles (DA for xbox/pc, DS for ps3 and Bower for DS)

 

I work with stupid amounts of data every day (just like metacritics with many different review sources).  We ALWAY throw out the top/bottom 2 pieces of data before we do our average (if the total number of data sets is over 15)

I am not even sure if that 67 was the game's worst review. There is one (not sure if it's on Meta) where guys hates that the game has no long drawn out story, you get hurt from "the slightest fall", you don't get new weapons and armor often enough, that you're punished for dying, that you lose half your life when you're a soul (guess he never found the cling ring?), you can't sell items, game doesn't tell you to hold onto boss souls to trade later on, that accidentally killing an NPC can hurt you for good (No shit?).

In other words, he was mad that he sucked at the game and that it didn't hold his hand while he played.

I had to bold that last one though because when I read it I face palmed.
