OpenCritic, a new game-only review aggregator, has launched (full disclosure my friend helped build it and gave me the heads up that they launched today). It includes some nice features that MetaCritic doesnt have. Most notably you can exclude publications you dont usually agree with or build a score using only your favorite publications. Another big feature for me is the crawlers constantly scanning, even for games its already seen. As publications have their x weeks-in or post-patch review updates the score will update automatically to reflect them.
The Open name and the FAQ suggests they are aiming for transparency both in how reviews are scraped and in the formulas used to normalize and calculate scores. Theyre also aiming to let community feedback help shape the process.
