gamerankings suck. There are a lot of sites they shouldn't be including yet they do. Just use the gamespot standard, perhaps IGN a bit, but certainly not gamerankings.
Because you might have 50 reviews for one game and 100 for another. Is that fair ? And the overwhelming majority of the sources are laughable to boot. That makes it worthless to me.

still might be more reliable than 1 review though.
Using reviews period is pointless since each system has different standards so you can't accurately compare reviews between consoles. Using Gamerankings is even less accurate since you have a mess of sites with different review systems all bunched into one score.
Everybody does this whole gamerankings suck crap, well guess what GS scores are right there with IGN, 1up, gameinformer, gamepro and some of those other review sites and mags you dont want. so nothing would really change. If anything we use for hype and flop threads gamespot. but for overall library debate. gamerankings is way more valid because it offers who a game did critically across the board not just gamespot.
but still you have to admit that gamerankings is more valid than any other site
Not at the Gamespot: System Wars. Here we use Gamespot reviews.
Yep. Those are the rules around here.

exactly. For instance.....TP is AA and warioware is AAA at GS.

yes in fact it is much more fair than having one review per game. it's all math; the more reviews you have the more the general opinion of the game is represented. using yourexample if one had 50 reviews for one game and 100 for another you would end up with one game with good representation and one game with very good representation. if you had two games with 1 review each you would just have two games with poor representation.
