Metacritic does have its uses. They're perfect for making non-subjective comparisons on certain levels, especially when looking on a large scale (which compounds the initial effect of creating a generalized view). They're utterly useless for direct quality comparisons though, which is unfortunately what most people try to use it for :/
That all said, this thread is just for fun ^^ It's not intended to be taken too seriously.

FIne, but: Gamerankings.com > Metacritic.

They're essentially the same aren't they? :p From my understanding the only real difference in GR use a standard average, while metacritic weight the score slightly to minimize the effect of troll reviews.
Both sites end up with incredible similar scores though (generally no more than a 1 point variation in either direction), so even that difference in fairly negligible.
Edit: Whoops >.<
