Yeah I trust film reviewers way more. At Metacritic right now, Indiana Jones is at 65. That's exactly where I expect a big budget rehash to be.

It's totally okay to enjoy a movie rated in the 60s on Metacritic, but if you enjoy games in the 60s, you're supposed to be nuts.
I think a reviewer could give a game a bunch of scores, but instead of them being graphics, sound, gameplay... they could be...
