Echoing the central question of seminal graphic novel Watchmen, Paradox Interactive today asks, "Who reviews the reviewers?" Their answer, of course, is delightful: MetaMetaCritic. It's an aggregator for reviews of reviewers,
“MetaMetaCritic will provide a more accurate, balanced system for reviewer reviews,” said Paradox's Lars Larsson in a press release. “In a landscape with so many diverse scales for rating games journalists, it’s hard to get an idea who the best writers really are. We all have different criteria for what makes a good review. How do we measure value and re-read value? And some of us try to base our ratings on abstract concepts like tone, voice, or whether an article was ‘finished’ or not. I’ve seen a lot of reviews get criticized lately for releasing day-one counterpoints – and don’t get me started on the ending of the Mass Effect 3 review.”
This sould prove a great resource for "game enthusiast enthusiasts" worried about where to spend their hard-earned page view, and Paradox claims that some outlets are already using MetaMetaCritic to determine reviewers' bonus pay.
