About MetaCritic

About company

Metacritic.com provides thousands of reviews in a number of entertainment genres including film, video, music, books and games, to help consumers make decisions about spending money on entertainment. Each metacritic.com entertainment record is assigned a METASCORE®, which is a weighted average of all of the scores assigned by individual critics. Metacritic.com has evolved since it began in 1999, constantly adding to its database of reviews, launching a wireless version of the site, and undergoing redesigns in 2003 and 2004. In 2005, Metacritic joined the CNET family of websites after an acquisition by CNET Networks, Inc.
