    Yeah you heard me:

    Any sites like Metacritic/Game Rankings for the iDevice?

    I'd like a site that gives me all the review scores to a game and links to those reviews at one glance. School me.

    I don't know of any, but it would be really useful. On my blog at http://www.feltzem.wordpress.com I've aggregated reviews for abot 15 games, but haven't done any more in a while. When I do start doing more I'll move to a proper domain name (I'm thinking appreviewstats.com) and I'll give links to the reviews as well. But knowing me, I probably won't get around to it (so many games to play, so little time...). I think that a site like Metacritic for iDevice games would be hugely helpful, someone should start one (maybe Touch Arcade could have another site that did that?)

    The iDevice is a valid gaming platform by now and MetaCritic should add it to its database. It's so inconvenient making multiple searches for game reviews. Just give me one site damnit!

    Pretty much this is it. I think it'd be too hard for Metacritics (never visited) or Gamespot to have an iDevice gaming section without half arsing it, since they'll have a game section with only 10% of valid reviews, done by their own reviewers, seeing as how there are a few tens of thousands of games on the iDevice.

    Come to think of it, even 10% percent would be giving them too much credit - that'd be thousands of games reviewed, in a short time.

    Apptism aggregates critical reviews and articles, but I'm not sure how many sources they check or how often. Here's the page for Pinch 'n Pop! for example.

    I would take a guess that that the number of objective review sites for apps is too small and the volume is far too high.

    And use here? What's going to win the Physics game contest? iBlast Moki. Why ? Maybe it's great but also it's the newest. They come, they get praised and they go ..

    Now what I do want from Metacritic is a text file I can download with all the game scores so when I'm out buying I can see a little more first..

    AppVee does a lot of videoreviews for lots of idevice games. You can search them on YouTube.. That's prob the best one I know of.
