The crazy thing is Metacritic is just all the websites that people complain about combined into some average. I see people all the time bitch about IGN, GameSpot, and many other review sites, but then turn around and go to Metacritic.

In the end unless the industry as a whole adopts a structure/system like they have for the automotive industry then we will never get true reviews.

Lets take Halo as an example. If someone doesn't like FPS game then right out of the gate you have a biased view on the game. When there is no guidelines in place people can just do whatever they want and do a lot of games wrong. That works in positive and negative ways.
