Great when you're actually playing Detective, not so great when you're shooting guys in the face.

To me that clearly seems like a review aimed towards PS3 and 360 versions, even if it was played on the PS3.

Metacritic should do the right thing and portray these scores the way the publications originally intended, instead of their crap that involves making up their own conversions for letter grades even when the publication asks them not to and on top of that weighing each publication differently, meaning an IGN 9.0 could add 9.3 to the Meta while a Destructoid 9.0 could add 8.7 to the overall.

 

It is a disservice to gamers and gaming publications. 

 

Like I said though, overall it probably isn't a big deal, but I have always had a problem with Metacritic. I just don't like it.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)
