Honestly, I really enjoyed working on this report. The video provides some insight in regard to the impact of the weighting system. We’ll demonstrate how large the point swings can be, and even examine how the weights have changed between 2000 and 2008.

Now that we’ve spent some time explaining the sample, it’s time to challenge metacritic. In this video, we’ll be comparing metacritic against gamerankings.com and gamestats.com. Our goal here is to determine if metacritic is an effective scoring index.

This video is simply a brief overview of the sample data we’ll use for our metacritic challenge. As mentioned in the video, we pulled this sample in July for 100 game titles in 2008. If you would like to view the sample data, please right click here, and “save target as.”
Also, there is a small error with the dataset, but it won’t effect the results. We originally prepared the data with 100 random samples, but added a few more at the end to offset some of the missing data from gamestats. The video only touches on a few results from quite a long handling process with the data. If you have questions, you know where to find me.
