"For me" is a key phrase there: not everyone follows these standards. There is no universal standard, and as such, something like Metacritic is inherently flawed because the data it uses is inconsistent and unevenly weighted.

How do you determine what is serious enough of a flaw to dock marks? What aspects do you favour? The problem with giving an objective rating like a number to a subjective enterprise like a video game review means that the number is a suggestion at best.

And if Loony BoB's (or anybody's, given the variability in those lists) Top 100 games is anything to go by, a marker of a game's greatness does not equally translate into the amount of fun it generates for a person.
