In terms of the reviews compared to my experiences, I'd have to say God of War III. It was alright, but hardly my game of the year, which its metacritic kinda suggest it should be contending for. A solid 8/10 game, not a 92%er.

My runners up include:

Heavy Rain - 8/10 (not an 87)

Mass Effect 2 - a 9/10, just (not a 96, or even a 94 as the PC version managed, even though it was better than the 360 version)

As for games I feel are wrongly maligned in this thread (of those I've played thoroughly):

Modnation Racers: Surely it deserves its 82% Metacritic? Sounds spot on to me. A great game, but flawed.

FFXIII: I enjoyed this for all its flaws, and it was absolutely gorgeous, so I find it hard to say its 83% is over-rating the game.

And, lastly, Dragon Age was released in 2009, not 2010. That said, it doesn't deserve the 87 it got on PS3 or the 86 on 360 (it's an 8/10 game at best); however, the PC version fully deserves its 91 as its a far, far better game.
