I know man, I already explained my theory post on here before this, but I'll say it again anyway, it's because uncharted 2 was so unexpected since the first game was seen as good but nothing special, now Uncharted 3 has insanely high expectations which it probably reached with most reviewers, but some reviewers were expecting an 11/10 or thought UC2 was over-rated and that influenced the UC3 score. Those are just 2 reasons relating to a predecessors success, there's more reasons than that. It happens time and time again, if a games predecessor is an unexpected hit, it's likely to be under-rated and almost guaranteed to get a lower metacritic. 93 (uc3 meta at the moment) is obviously incredible, but compare it to UC2s 96 and 39 100s and it loses meaning.
