wow a difference by one point? can't believe that we have gamers on this site who believe that infamous is a better game for Them, how is that even possible :/

By critic reviews SSO is a slightly better game on average. Ill take Metacritic scores more seriously than a bunch of random internet users who probably only have 1 console. 

Holding metacritic up as the definitive source of game reviews and aggregate scores is fine, but to argue it's accuracy when it comes down to a single point, and use that as a barometer to gauge that one title was definitvely more well revieved that another, and hold that figure as gospel, is utterly ridiculous.

One point or even a few points on metacritic means very, very little, when you have titles with varying numbers of reviews, from different sources, with both subjective percentages applied to reviews and subjective weighing applied to reviewers. The whole idea is about putting a numerical figure on the general reaction of the media to the media. By all means it's useful as a guide, but when it comes down to a single point in an imperfect and inexact system?

Please.
