all reviewers from all sites have bias to some degree. your major sites like Gamespot, IGN, ect. are no different.

The matter is the "degree" to which they are biased.
This isnt the first time this view point as been expressed here on VGCs.

I think there are Sony , Nintendo sites that do this too, but xbox has the most of them or it just appears that way.
which is ironic considering how often crapgamer and the like talk about media bias against xbox.

That's literally the only way metacritic could become any worse

Nah, it would become perfect.

For starters: Legend of Dragoon would become the only game ever with a metascore of 100.

No. They're all biased.

Too many games have their overall ratings padded.

Even non console-exclusives sites are biased towards certain franchises and developers, no site is totally imparcial.

That's true.

There's really no need for any of them.

Yes.

Even as I have almost 20 games ranked as 10/10 in my personal list LoD would be the only one to reach 100.

Im sure none from square enix. Im sure no game from them would score higher than 7/10. Each conclusion, "not legend of dragoon 2."

It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.

Yeah, I saw that 90. Kind of annoyed me, since it’s so much higher than every other score; but, I’m sure that’s happened with PS and Ninty before as well.
