I'm sure I'm not the only one who have noticed a lot of titles getting undeserved scores by critics. Whether they be ridiculously high or unfairly low.
So here, we make up the rules. Which games do you think deserve what score?

In my opinion:
This is AAA
Fight Metacritic! 9890
This is AAA
Fight Metacritic! Heavy_10
This is AAA
Fight Metacritic! Box20a10
This is AA
Fight Metacritic! Timesh11
This is high A or AA
Fight Metacritic! Shadowrun

THIS IS SPARTA!!!!


Now it's your turn!

I first im not too sure about metacritic scores for example New Vegas and Fable 3 getting AA, but after a while I understand why they have. main'y cause of the bugs and glitches they have.

Yeah! I agree with most of those! Gears, killzone and uncharted shouldnt have such a high rating. A good rating, yes but not AAA IMO.
Btw red dead deserves AAA I think. But just a straight up 90

No, Gears 2 had a much better single player.

True, but the multiplayer was nowhere near as good.

LOL Yeah I'm sure it takes drugs to see that gears is a repetitive albeit fun game but not worth AAA, to see that uncharted is merely tomb raider on rails with nice visuals but which no one plays anymore because it was fun only for a couple of hours, too see that killzone isnt any better than the average shooting game with nice graphics, sloppy controls and completely overshadowed by Halo Reach.

Fuck Metacritic. CVG, GameTrailers and IGN are the reviews I look at when buying a game. A load of people have found flaws in their (Metacritic) system.

Yet another reason I never trust the reviewer, just my own opinion.

I noticed another flaw in the system. Let's say a game gets 12 positive reviews, 7 mixed reviews, and 3 negative reviews. What happens is the the negative reviews can sometimes be so bad, they pull the overall average down, despite the fact that a majority of the reviewers enjoyed the game.

Yea.Look at Reach, a couple of reviewers gave it a 8/10 but when you look at what all the other reviewers gave it, those 8/10's are in the minority.

It depends on the order the game is averaged. It does not matter of it is the minority or not, it will still down the game's average rating, depending on the order in which Metacritic averages it.

And that is a flaw

Games arent getting the review scores they deserve simply because of a "bad" review or two
