    Reason I posted this, is that as it has been mentioned elsewehere, that IFL44 has some dependencies for further development on Metacritics score, targeting 70+ IIRC. If reading the article above and looking up MC score right now, I have bits of concerns...

    Yeah, another Metacritic flaw is that anyone's allowed to post their opinion there - for IF:44 there's generally more good reviews than bad ones, but the score is dragged down by kids who compare it to Call of Duty and rate 0/10. A lot of the criticism is legitimate but it's too bad that all reviews count.

    Though it's quite funny to see IGN criticizing Metacritic... at least Metacritic doesn't give inflated review scores to mediocre games *cough*Call of Duty*cough*.
