An interesting article from Gamasutra that highlights how the scoring site Metacritic effects the gaming industry and how other reviewers seem to treat this stain on the gaming community.
I really don’t like Metacritic because of exactly what the article says: it reduces hard work and quality down to a number. Hasty reviews and “non-shit storm” websites skew the numbers and given that Bethesda faced some troubles due to New Vegas getting a 79 on Metacritic instead of an 80, it actually effects peoples jobs.
