Metacritic is biased again look at gamespot and IGN reviews how they are pushing down the overall score, everyone else gives it a 9 or 10. Gamespot and IGN have a bigger value on the score than other sites

Do they take that into account?  I thought every review was equal. 

No. Metacritics assigns arbitrary weight to all media outlets. Some reviewers weight more in the balance than others.

Which is why opencritics was created in the first place. All reviews count for the same weigth. Making the average score actually an average.
