Metacritic’s Top 10 Games

metacriticOnce again, we revisit that timeless truth. We love the junk out of top 10 lists. Well, it seems that MTV Multiplayer has done some homework and put together this nifty list of the 10 best rated games of the year on Metacritic.

While we can’t shout “wtf what a sucky list” at this, we can get an idea of games that were for some reason universally overrated/underrated. It begs the question of whether or not the gaming media gives free passes to some of the bigger franchises like GTA IV and MGS 4. In my opinion, both of these were lackluster entries into their respective series.

List is after the jump!

1. Grand Theft Auto IV (98 — 360, 98 — PS3)
2. LittleBigPlanet (95 — PS3)
3. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (94 — PS3)
4. BioShock (94 — PS3) and Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 (94 — PS2)
5. Super Smash Bros. Brawl (93 — Wii) and Gears of War 2 (93 — 360)
6. Chrono Trigger (93 — DS) and Braid (93 — 360)
7. World of Goo (94 — Wii, 91 — PC / AVERAGE: 92.5)
8. Fallout 3 (93 — 360, 92 — PS3, 92 — PC / AVERAGE: 92) and Galactic Civilizations II: Twilight of the Armor (92 — PC)
9. Rock Band 2 (92 — 360, 91 — PS3 / AVERAGE: 91.5)
10. God of War: Chains of Olympus (91 — PSP) and World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King (91 — PC)

What do you guys think? What would you rather see at the top?

  1. I played the first mission of Saints Row 2 last night and I already like it more than GTA IV,lol.

    MGS4 is not my cup of tea, as we all know, but I would have put Fallout 3 higher.

    Smash Bros is way too high.

  6. You what? This list is pretty damn right.
    Except for GTA4 and MGS4. And LBP. LBP should be lower.
    And where the hell is CoD4?!!? It should make at least fourth.

  7. This list isn’t as bad as others but I still think GTA4 was overrated. I’ve finally got LBP and it’s place is well deserved.

    FYI CoD4 came out last year.
