Accurate? I think you meant to ask "which do you prefer"...
And for everyone who thinks there is a huge difference, you need to realize that the two sites are not independent, they're associated with each other. But overall Metacritic is a more highly regarded site (it's the one that gets mentioned by industry people).
The reason games like Crash Bandicoot 1 are not on there is because it's a relatively new site that should only be relied upon for recently released games (see their list of top films, which is basically recent movies and a few old movies that got reviewed because they came out on DVD), so games that came out in the last 3-4 years.
We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai
It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps
We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
