    Whatoplay is far better than metacritic and open critic in terms of aggregating game's score (whatoplay score) for me. Also their website is cool and very informative.

    Whatoplay has all the data and credibility much more than metacritic. I believe they are doing the aggregated scoring system a better perspective.
