Saw these listed on joystiq.com earlier. They included PC games, so I have removed them and compiled it into top 30 (there is actually 31 because multiple games got 87%).

I just re-arranged them in google docs. Games on multiple Platforms with different scores are placed by their highest score. I have removed any PC scores for multi-plat titles.

Code: 
Grand Theft Auto IV (PS3/360)				98	April
LittleBigPlanet (PS3)					95	October
BioShock (PS3)						95	October
Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii)				94	March
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of The Patriots (PS3)		94	June
World of Goo (WiiWare)					93	October
Braid (XBLA)						93	August
Chrono Trigger (DS)					93	November
Gears of War 2 (360)					93	November

http://www.metacritic.com - is a website that aggregates scores/reviews from a large number of print/web publications.

Interesting list, reminded me of a couple of titles to pick up when they are cheap.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. This game is so under-rated it deserves to be up here. The mechanics arent completely perfect but its been one of the best games ive played this year.

I dont agree with that. It deserves 80 at the very least. 85. Though I rate it higher than some on that list, especially GTA.

Why remove PC games? Put 'em back in for true "multi-plat" scores?

Their censoring of a buttload of user content is bloody criminal.

Because this is the consoles section? You can talk about PC games and scores in the other section. You make it sounds like PC versions of games get much higher scores and I have left them out to make consoles look good!!. LOL. Like the couple of 360 and PS3 games listed, the PC versions were 1%-2% different at most.

Interesting to see PS3 dominating the top 5!

Even though Bioshock is effectively a re-release and public opinion is divided on both MGS and GTA!
