At the moment, Batman AC seems to be kicking butt at metacritic including UC3. Rest of the reviews for UC3 will have to be much better to win the metascore.

That's weird... why?

- Batman: AC (PS3) has 26 reviews and by my math the avg. 95.8... Metacritic rounded it up to 96.
- Batman: AC (360) has 56 reviews and by my math the avg. 94.55...  Metacritic rounded it up to 95.

- Uncharted 3 had 47 reviews and by mu math the avg. 93.95...  Metacritic rounded it down to 93.

Now after a new review...

- Uncharted 3 had 48 reviews and by mu math the avg. 94.08...  Metacritic rounded it down to 94 finally.

Weird no? The scores are close but Metacritic make it seens like 1-2 points more.

Metacritic weights review scores. 

For example IGN has much more weight than a random reviewer that not very many people know.

Thats exactly what I believe too. But when it had like 43 reviews, UC3 was at 93.94!!! And with IGN giving it a 10, and Gametrailers a 9.5..
It was rounded to 93 until another review came and put it slightly above 94.

 

The f..

 

The only reason it keeps going down to 93 and up to 94 is because its going around 93.90 -> 94.10 which should all be rounded up to 94!
