But you can question the accuracy and importance of such a list. I mean half the sources I see on Metacritic I've never heard of before. Who decides whether a source is "worthy" or not? What's the criteria? How many reviews does it take to accurately represent the overall opinion of a game? Full Throttle only has 8 review sources. That doesn't seem like enough to me. What about all the older games that are missing because they don't have enough reviews or none at all?

Just recently, a BioWare employee was caught skewing the numbers for Dragon Age II by submitting his own review.

This is a list of well-received adventure games, nothing more. It doesn't accurately represent the "top" or "best of" anything.
