    So many people saying metacritic are dumb, or bias or whatever...how do people not realize by now that all metacritic is, is an AGGREGATE of all review scores. They don't score anything themselves, they just compile the reviews and give an average. So people shocked that Tony Hawk games scored so high, it's not just one dude going "I like this game. 95" it's dozens of reviewers scoring it 9s and a few 8s here and there.
