Just an aside:

In the Metacritic FAQ section under the question "Can you tell me how each of the different critics are weighted in your formula?" they respond with "absolutely not".

Metacritic is a fairly terrible site who wont even tell you how they get the numbers they get. Gamerankings is a better site imo as they give a straight average. Unfortunately they seem to be much slower than Meta (they only have 39 reviews up now).

your idea in the OP is interesting but i dont think it is fair to lob off outliers in reviews. Like with this game, it chops off all of the bad-mediocre scores and i don't think that is fair. Better than what meta does now but still not good IMO.
