Metacritic Strikes Again

Gamecyte reports:

”Back in March, we decried the way percentile ranking sites like Metacritic have permeated gaming culture, explained that we might be better off reading review text rather than paying attention to a suspicious scoring system, and suggested that gamers "just leave Metacritic to the suits" who use such digits to appeal to investors. But the Cult of Metacritic has grown in power since March, and is now threatening to influence our games from behind the scenes.”
