However, Metacritic also pairs each score with a quote from the source, and tracks back to the original content.
Metacritic has been criticized for taking the liberty of converting all critics’ scores to a 1 to 100 scale, which some believe can alter the original reviewer’s intent. We then listed the five lowest-rated games in their portfolio (usually dating back 10 years or less) and when applicable, included a Game Informer quote from the original review.įull disclosure: We relied heavily on Metacritic-an aggregate website that collects reviews and averages the score-while compiling this feature. To begin we compiled a list of each publisher’s lowest-rated games, keeping an eye out for oddities and trends along the way. We’ve broken down the top 10 publishers of 2008. So we look at this feature as we do those slightly embarrassing high-school prom photos of yours. But when you’ve been around as long these heavyweights, it’s safe to say that the good games far outweigh the bad. Now, we’re not trying to be mean-spirited, and that’s the reason we’re focusing on thick-skinned publishers instead of individual developers. Whether they occurred during a publisher’s equivalent of the terrible twos, those awkward high-school years or a mid-life crisis, we can’t help but think that if given the opportunity, all of them might make some different choices. No matter how highly heralded in the game world, every game company has a few blemishes on their record they would just as soon forget.
