| theRepublic said: I think I figured out the graph. Y axis is definitly Metacritic score. X axis seems to go from game to game down the list of games in score order. So for the Wii it should start with Galaxy, then Zelda, then Brawl and so on. I don't think that every single game is included, however. In my opinion, it just shows how ill equiped traditional reviewers are for reviewing casual content. It seems like Wii games are getting an automatic 10 point deduction (on a scale of 100) just for being casual, or not HD, or both. Just look at Wii Sports (76) and Wii Fit (80). These two titles are probably the biggest revolution in gaming since the transition to 3D, yet there is not a whole lot of love from traditional reviewers. In the meantime, the mainstream media and public can't get enough of this stuff. |
Sort of how movie critics hated on Star Wars, because it wasn't Easy Rider or The Godfather. Not saying those are bad movies, just pointing out the critical discrepancy.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs
