LOL. They just made a review on U2 and were accepted on Metacritic? and their dirty score lowered the meta from 97 to 96? c'mon! where the F* do these losers come from? how come VGC isn't on metacritic already ? lol I might as welll make me a couple of "game sites" and start spamming shitty reviews here and there for any games I feel doing it.

Metacritic has higher standards than you might think. They don't accept every review site ever. There are just over 100 reviews for Uncharted 2 on Metacritic, more than any other game. N4G has 381 reviews.

And yes, that site is perfectly professional. He makes perfectly valid points and gives good reasons for giving the game an 8/10. It's an unpopular opinion, but that doesn't mean it's bad. And is there any real difference between a 96 and a 97? Or, for that matter, a 90 and an 89?

As for why VGC isn't on Meta/GR, it's all to do with quantity. We'll probably be up there in the next couple of months.


Between a 96 and 97 no not really.  But between a 90 and 89?  There is a world of difference.  The difference between generally favorable and universal acclaim.  The difference between being starred or not and the difference between being considered AAA or not.  I bet most people who go to metacritic to find a good game consider a 90 and above a "must play".
