Metacritic speaks out on corrupt game reviewers

A publication has been removed from Metacritic due to corrupt editorial practices

yup

for me this became so obvious when Black ops was released, was score far too high IMO, far too high!

I always said people are being "payed-off" to rate a game well......

Couldn't agree more. I mean, I'm fine with Black Ops and all but the reviews it got when it was released were undeserving.

Dragon Age 2 getting 94 on PCGamer was disgraceful as well. Wasn't even a mention of the recycled dungeons.

Thats great. Good on 'em. I always look at the Metacritic score on a game before purchase if I'm not sure. They've come a long way and their reputation is very NB to gamers everywhere.
