OpenCritic - A new game-only review aggregator - NeoGAF

Quote
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 doesn’t have. Most notably you can exclude publications you don’t 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 it’s 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. They’re also aiming to let community feedback help shape the process.OpenCritic
 
Pretty cool, probably far better than Meta
