I think the majority of review sites base their critique around the grade system where 70% equals average resulting in the data being skewed to the left. Unfortunately I don't see that changing any time soon. One thing I wish Metacritic would do is not include sites that utilize 5-point scales because they seemingly have far more influence on the meta score than 10- or 100-point scales (unless there is some hidden weight applied to the scores associated with those scaling systems).
With that said, I'm not really one to complain about review scores because I understand that I simply may not like a game that others appreciate.
