Is Mass Effect 2 really better than Uncharted 2?

IGN's Greg Miller posted an article stating that Mass Effect 2 was really better than Uncharted 2 trying to rile the fanboys. I, however, decided to do some detective work and truly see if Greg Miller's claim was true. I embarked on a journey to every fanboy's favorite website, Metacritic. After some copying and pasting and triple-checking, this is what I found.













Average Score
Uncharted 2Mass Effect 2
With Uncharted 2's 28 extra reviews: 96.192307795.97333333
Without Uncharted 2's 28 extra reviews: 98.295.97333333


For Mass Effect 2 to pass Uncharted 2, it would need 13 more 100 reviews, 3 more 98 reviews, 1 more 97 review, 3 more 96 reviews, 3 more 95 reviews, 2 94 reviews, 2 92 reviews, 3 more 90 reviews, and lastly no reviews under 90. This would taper off roughly around 96.2 beating Uncharted 2 on Metacritic.

So, no, Mass Effect 2 is currently NOT better than Uncharted 2. Sorry for all you hopefuls out there. However, do not let this stop you from enjoying both games as they are surely going to be remembered for quite a long time.



Lastly, here is the Excel file I created to find this data:

    You're probably right, but guess what? I can always e-mail this to some of the underdog PS sites. I'm sure they'll gladly post it on N4G.
