AND....I know this is a little off topic, but I will remark just another thing about Metacritic. Nobody knows how exactly the amount of reviews considered for a game is determined.

And look at a couple of shady examples....

Uncharted 2: over 102 reviews, really? the game had a meta of 97 with 100 reviews already (talk about ownage!) ...but then a couple of reviews under 90 show up...more than a month after the game released, wtf???) from Absolute games and a so-called NTSC-uk

Just a quick search on the metacritic site and found no review from Absolute games for a game like COD MW2! (NTSC-uk does have one though, a 9)

But for games like MASS EFFECT 2, Bayonetta, or MGS4? No Absolute games review. Oh but NTSC-uk did a MGS4 review, on those few 80s (coincidence?)

And what exactly is GAMER STYLE? their review scored Killzone 2 a 60 and dropped its metascore from 92 to 91...how is a review from this site so important to do that? and more importantly, what that hell is Gamer Style, since I haven't seen it reviewing any other major game (no MW2, no Bayonetta, no AC2, no Uncharted 2)...

Metacritic is a shoddy site, those who regard it so highly and base their "opinions" of the quality of a game on their "metascores" I truly, truly pity...
