independent reviews could just be devs trying to get people to buy their game or to not buy a competitor's game, or pre-*****cent fanboys. so I don't put any stock in them. nor do I put any stock in the overall professional rating because **** metacritic and **** most games review sites.
metacritic is bullshit, and publishers are assholes for putting any stock in it. example A:

this is why steam and kickstarter give me hope for the industry. anything to undermine the control of the publishers imo, even if only in a small way, is a good thing.
the only games reviews I pay attention to are on giantbomb and rockpapershotgun. oh, and zero punctuation. and even then, I recognize that a reviewer's opinion may not be the same as my own. rockpapershotgun and zero punctuation don't even give silly numbered scores anyway.
