No, it's not. Myself and others refuted this claim in the IGN goty thread but you seem to want to hold on to your misleading claim. A gem that nobody plays is still a gem. Playtime is not indicative of quality.

You could use the same logic for reviews. "A gem that nobody reviews is still a gem"

I'll take average play time over average review score any day.

Every platform has great games in the high 80's that deserve to be in the 90's.

yeah but this time there were 6 games on the 360 which had a rating of 90, but after 3-4 weeks when the last reviews arrived they were rated down by 1. Sad

BTW. You missed Geometry Wars 2 on the exclusive list and if you add ports on the Wii as well, where is Guitar Hero 2 for 360 ?

these aggregated scores are stupid, i cnt belive some ppl judge a game according to metacritic.

a good example is fable 2, it was 92 according to 52 reviews, then aggregated to 89 from 70+ reviews? does the game all of a sudden become less worthy at 70+ reviews aggregated compared to 52+ reviews aggregated.

its just a joke

Well in my opinion any game is worth playing with a score from 75-100. Anything less you must (should) be a fan of the genre to like it.

So personally it doesn't interest me at all if the game scores 89 or 90, but it helps with arguing against fanboys

I tend to think that Wii will dominate the exclusives list by the end of this gen (not counting PC), if only because 360 and PS3 will continue to share so many multiplatform titles.

Hmm, interesting to see such domination from PC, the dying platform. Well, a good thing I game on both PC and consoles and even better that I prefer PC.

I know, right? Every single generation I read articles about how "PC gaming is dying" but it never does.

That list doesn't even show popular web-based MMO's, which are rising quickly.

The only reason they're included is to remove Wii's shovelware, which people don't think counts as exclusive.

I can post a list of exclusives without ratings, if you prefer, but there won't be much change in the platform leaders.
