Holding up reviews as some bastion of absolute objective truth is nonsense.

Smash Bros Brawl. Metal Gear Solid 4. Grand Theft Auto 4. Heavy Rain. High metacritic scores, shitty games.

Wat.

How are they shit games? >_> Good god man, the only one there that was overhyped and circlejerked around was GTA IV, but it was a good game none the less. It wasn't  the best iteration in the series but shitty? Come on.

Brawl: Horribly twitchy, floaty controls/physics.

MGS 4: Too much focus on story, not enough on gameplay.

GTA4: Tedious.

Heavy Rain: Glorified straight-to-DVD movie.

Yeah well, the general consensus says no. They are quality titles that people enjoyed and deservedly got praised for.

Also, not sure what "Glorified straight-to-DVD movie" is supposed to mean. It plays like a point and click adventure game and was well received among the gaming community and media press.
