metacritic @02:41 PM

discovered this site metacritic a couple months ago, and have been pretty addicted to it since... this may be an old thing, but I think it's probably the best place to go if you want to browse current media offerings. Granted, it doesn't do any recommendation stuff like amazon, or doesn't value-rank the sites from which it culls it's rankings, but I really like the design of what they do have. Basically, it takes reviews of movies, tv shows, dvd releases, music, and games, and aggregates them into an overall composite score. Shadow of the colussus gets like, a 93 composite score, while the new TV show freddie gets a 33. Anyway, the design is great, allowing you to sort games by system and score, others just by score I think... but it's a nice way to quickly get info about what the critical mass is for a given piece of media (ouch, that pun hurt). Very simple.

This is what everyone in the video games industry, in my experience @ EA, Activision, and Warner Bothers, uses as a backboard for critic scores.

It is nice to have a respectable conglomorate.
