Change all critic ratings on series pages to display only Metacritic or remove ratings on series pages altogether
Right now a lot of series pages (particularly Mario (franchise)) display ratings critics and these are mostly limited to IGN and Gamesport. While these two are the most well known critics, their reviews are often subjective and are based on one person's opinion. Metacritic (which is mostly not present) on the other hand displays an aggregate score based on all critics and gives a much more accurate view on the actual quality of a game and I believe that if we're going to have ratings listed next to games on these pages then only Metacritic should be displayed because of these reasons.

However I also willing to propose that we remove ratings on these pages altogether if people prefer that.

Only display metacritic

 * 1) Per proposal.
 * 2) – Per proposal. An aggregate reception score would be more informative for summary purposes. The individual, more subjective ratings should be described on the article instead (which is where users are going to head to if they are looking for more info).
