So let's play a little game with Metacritic

[BanZeus]

I limited my search to my PS3 collection, games I still own, and disqualified titles I got for free.

Highest critic:
Bioshock (94/8.3)
Mass Effect 2 (94/8.1)

Lowest Critic:
Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls (57/7.8)

Highest User:
Flower (87/9.0)

Lowest User:
Dragon Age 2 (82/3.9)

 

[Sexy Devil]

Highest professional reviewer score is a draw between Half-Life 2, Bioshock, Uncharted 2, Mass Effect 2, and Arkham City, all at 96. Interesting how all of those except one are the second games in the series.

Lowest is Duke Nukem Forever.

I'm not bothering with user reviews because it appears you can't order them by that and I don't want to comb through everything.

 

[schtingah]

Highest MetaCritic: Orange Box / Half-Life 2 PC / Uncharted 2 PS3 (96)<<< I guess
Lowest MetaCritic: Winter Voices Prologue: Avalanche PC (47) <<< So unjustified

Highest Fans: Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance PC (9.5) <<< Couldn't agree more
Lowest Fans: Mass Effect 3 PC / Diablo III PC (4.0) <<< Haters gonna hate

Funnily though Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 & 3 on the PlayStations beats the 96s, but i only have the PC versions of those.

 

[LITE992]

Highest Rated: Grand Theft Auto IV (360) 98%
Lowest Rated: Sonic the Hedgehog (360) 46%

Highest User Rated: RACE 07 (PC) 9.4
Lowest User Rated: Modern Warfare 3 (360) 3.2

 

[Grygor]

Highest - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64) - 99
Lowest - Final Fight Streetwise (PS2) - 43

 

[Best of the 3]

Highest: HL2 + ME2 = 96
Loweest: Two Worlds = 50

 

[Andy of Comix Inc]

Highest: Grand Theft Auto IV (98)
Lowest: Post Apocalyptic Mayhem (44)

Both wildly undeserved as far as I'm concerned, but whatever. Critics!

 

[Allan Scott]

Highest Critics: Grand Theft Auto IV (360) - 98
Lowest Critics: Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad (360) - 39

...yeah, I'll go hang my head for having bought Onechanbara. And 1000G'ing it.

 

[Baneat]

Why on earth does GTA IV have 98!? People hate that game compared to the earlier ones..

 

[FoolKiller]

Well...

I have 99 - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
17 - Yaris (it was a free XBLA game early in the system's life)

As for the high and low of the user scores I'm afraid I won't let those be affected by the people here that would either bomb or boost a score they don't approve of.

 

[Payned]

The lowest of the ones I can think of is Empire Earth for the PC (not surprising) at a 50.

As for user reviews:

Worst is Empire Earth again. Christ, that game was terrible; I forgot I even had it until I went looking through my PC games for this. (forgot to say the score; it was a 3.2)

Which metacritic website were you looking at? It sure as hell wasn't the normal one:

http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/empire-earth

Empire Earth: 81 critic score, 8.5 user score.
Not 50/3.2.

I think he was looking at Empire Earth 3

 

[Bloodtrozorx]

Highest: Tie Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4 with a 94.
Lowest: Minecraft Xbox 360 edition with a 82.

 

[hazard99]

Highest- GTA4 98
Lowest- Vampire Rain 38

 

[twaddle]

for me
Highest Score: Final Fantasy IX (PS1) 94
Shadow the Hedgehog (PS2) 72

I do have current gen games, it's just none of them made it up there for highest and lowest.

 

[Cosmosis]

Without splitting hairs with some DLC...

Highest critic is a three way tie between Portal 2 (PC), Red Dead Redemption (PS3), and Baldur's Gate II at 95.

Highest user is a tie between Portal (PC) and Planescape: Torment at 9.5

Lowest critic is Temple of Elemental Evil at 73.

Lowest user, Fallout: New Vegas (PS3) at 7.2.

 

[AnarchistFish]

Highest - Mass Effect 2, Xbox 360 (96)
Lowest - Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime, PC (43)

I'm not sure how to get it to arrange by user score, so I'd either have to search every game I've owned one at a time and keep a list, or ignore it. I'm lazy, and France is playing in less than ten hours, so I'm refusing to search.

I love your avatar.

I have a lot of games I can't be bothered to look them all up
The Orange Box, Halo CE, Mass Effect 2, Portal 2 are probably at the top. At the bottom, no idea. Oh, I had a game called James Pond for the gameboy. Shit game. Not on metacritic though.

 

[Spitfire]

Both highest critical rating (96), and highest user rating (9.2) is Half-Life 2.
No surprises there.

Lowest critical rating (65) is Counter-Strike: Condition Zero.
I agree with this. CZ was an average shooter, and a completely unnecessary entry in the series.

Lowest user rating (5.0) is The Polynominal.
Eh, whatever. For an indie game that's not another damn platformer, I thought it was pretty entertaining, if only for the fact that it looks absolutely gorgeous.

 

[Triangulon]

Highest: Half-life (PC) / Half-life 2 (PC) / Bioshock (PC) - 96
Lowest: Golden Axe: Beast Rider (360) - 45 (never played, bought preowned due to nostalgia)

Highest User: Morrowind (PC) - 9.6
Lowest User: Mass Effect 3 (PC) - 4.0

 

[Doclector]

Well, I pretty much guessed which ones would be popular/not and looked them up. I'm not searching for every game in my collection, I was a hermit who only went out to get more games at one point, so I own a hell of a lot of games.

Highest critic score: skyrim, with 96.
Highest user score: left 4 dead 2, with 8.8

Lowest critic score: dark messiah of might and magic: 52
Lowest user score: sims 3 pets 2.6

Not many surprises really, probably due to how I did it. I was a little surprised at the extremely low score of the sims 3 pets. I didn't think it'd be popular but...damn. It's probably because a lot of people say the 360 edition should've been DLC, not a full retail release.
