Wise words...there are too many 'sheep' in this hobby.
@The ghost of rubang
Ratchet and clank quest for booty, Pixel junk series(not racers), warhawk..
but they dont have to be AAA to be good, anything above 80 is a good game.

Is it your belief then that every game 79 and under is not good?
go 360!

Yep...now, by knowing that, hopefully more people will actually place a bit more importance into just enjoying their games instead of this unhealthy need to defend their console of choice at all costs.

That means 2 things, but neither of them is "the Wii had the worst 2008 lineup." 1) The majority of gamers don't care about Metacritic ratings. 2) Game reviewers really prefer shiny games, whether they sell or not, and whether anybody else likes them or not. Game reviewers are obsolete. Don't bother with Metacritic. Develop your own tastes. You don't need those nerds to tell you what is good.
leo, do you enjoy games that aren't AAA? What are the lowest-rated Metacritic games you enjoy?

Metacritic shows how in step reviewers are with the PS3/360 and you can see a clear causation between high reviews and high sales.
Metacritic also shows out out of step reviewers are with the Wii and you cannot see a clear causation between high reviews and high sales. Both Wii-Fit and Mario Kart scored 80s and yet they sold in the 10s of Millions.
Tease.
Why are we arguing about games in a hardware sales thread?
Wii has better sales, HD consoles have better games. Both fanboy factions need to learn to deal with those facts.
A good game is one that people enjoy. There are plenty of people who enjoy Wii games and have zero interest in these 'highly rated' games. Most of the people I know would rather eat vomit than play Gears of War 2, even though I enjoy it a lot.

Since when did opinions become facts Okey?
Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

So 79 is not then? I really recommend you take Rubangs words into your heart, reviews should be some sort of advice not guidlines (some people treat Metascore like line from the Bible) and if you think the game is interesting enough go for it and dont look at the reviews. Games i've played most this gen have meta score of 72 and 78 im not saying im better then you , no but puting too much emphasis on the reviews will make you miss some amazing games, taste should not be discussed , we should respect it , and enjoy what we like.
