One of the neatest developments online in the past couple of years has been the growth of meta review sites. These websites gather reviews from a variety of sources and gather them conveniently in one place so that readers can be sure they are getting a non-biased opinion. It has gotten to the point where we never slap down our money to check out a new movie before consulting the overall score from the critics on Rotten Tomatoes. Now, there is a new site devoted entirely to collecting review scores for the Nintendo Wii. Test Freaks has over 100 Nintendo Wii reviews, for just about every title ever released for the system. The site gathers opinions from both professional critics and fans, so readers can get a variety of perspectives on new titles.
The most recently reviewed game, Wii Fit, has an average reviewer’s score of 9.3, which seems about right for this innovative and popular title. Lowest scoring games include NBA 2008 (3.9) and Pimp My Ride (3.0), so you know what to avoid next time you are in the shop wondering what to pick up.
