I used to look at Metacritic back in the day. Well the gamerankings one. It was safe bet when i had very limited amount of money as a teenager. I don't give them much credence anymore. One or  two of my friends don't get a game if it does not rate rate higher than 90% if not 85% in some cases.

They miss out on games like Binary Domain (74% meta) which i thought was rather excellent. These games are not perfect but really which ones are. There is really too much personal bias and preconceived notions when the critics review the game. It is not like i don't watch or read the reviews. Infact i end up reading quite a few as i quite enjoy the gaming news.

Some bizzare examples for reviews were Resident Evil 6 series. I mean i am not really that much into it. I just played and liked 4 but am not stuck on that. So some major websites like Gamespot gave it below 50. What does that really mean. Does that mean any game getting 55 from them is better than Resident Evil 6. This is bizzare train of thought that the industry generally as a whole follow.

Since i play much more games now than i used to back in days. I like these mid tier games quite a bit. It is good to see Sony supporting them. I would have liked to see Kameo 2 but there is probably some dude like Sales2099 sitting there and saying. No No No. What the hell am i going talk about when it sells half a million even if we make our money back and get respect from gamers.

Sales Sales Sales. When you are bored of AAA games. Just put the sales disc in and spin it around.

Quoting because awesome post :)
