And again it just completely baseless to say those things as there is nothing to back those statements up with any proof.  

So basically they got it right for a game you like,  but for every other game they are so blatantly wrong and biased.  

And I agree one series is good and the other isnt.  DMC hasnt been relevenat for years, where as God of War are critically acclaimed games that are considered to be some of the best in their respective genre.  

And Call of Duty is the best FPS series according to critics.  Both your opinion and mine are baseless because there's no proof to back any of it up other than the games themselves, and it seems to me that selling good and being overrated by journalists and consumers alike means that it's the better game.

Oh, and God of War Ascension's Metascore is 80 while DmC Devil May Cry is 85/86.  DmC Devil May Cry still bombed.  So much for being  the better game according to critics right?

It's not an exclusive but Mirror's Edge got has a 79 on Metacrtic.  70-79 is your average score for a decent game.  The game didn't sell well, didn't receive any massive hype prior to release, but it's a great game and you constantly see it on underrated gem lists as one of the best games this generation.  With how much fan hype it's been getting because of the first game, as long as the game is decent, I'd bet that we'll see 85 or better on Metacritic after its release.  I don't think it's an 85, but my scoring also doesn't coincide with the "never rate anything marginably playable below a 6 either." 

No its not,  All 6 Halo FPS games have an average Metacritic of 91.1,  the last 8 Call of Duty games have an 87.6 average. And thats on the score friendly Xbox 360,  that number drops a few points on the PS3 and PC.   

And its funny you chose God of War Ascension,  the bastard spinoff.   The rest of the series has an average Meta of 91.2, even including that game the average is still 89.3.  Devil May Cry a whopping 83.2.  Even the God of War games on PSP rank better than all but one Devil May cry games and that being the original only.  So yeah they are the better games according to critics.  

Well the first Mirrors Edge was a good game, but it wasnt great.  The story was basically non existent, all it had going for it was its unique action style and the all the running and jumping mechanics which were good but not great.  If they fix alot of the issues the first game had I dont see why it couldnt be a great game and get a meta in the 80s.   Regardless of hype
