GTA DS is a must buy for me.
I was hoping Henry Hatsworth would score better. I will probably pick it up when it gets cheap.

Odd, Metacritic has it at 56, while GamesRankings has it at 62.25. What's really strange is that they both use the same 4 reviews. Nintendo Power 8 GameDaily 7 Gamervision 6 IGN 3.9 |
Metacritic uses weighting while gamerankings does not. Gamerankings just eliminates reviews it considers suspect. So that 39 from IGN weighs especially heavy on Sonic's metacritic score.
And to think people hold these measurements up as impartial. What arbitrary system do they use to decide which arbitrary score is more important?

What do you mean by "weighting"?
I did an average of the 4 scores and I obtained 6.225.
good to see GTA ChinaTown Wars got a good score. Can't wait for it to come out.
