Here's an idea that could put some gaming website on the map... create a crawler that grabs all the game ratings from all the different gaming sites - similar to a bunch of metarankings sites. But in addition to compiling the metascore... show the ranking outlilers (like if a game is ranked 5/10 overall but gamespot gives it a 10). If a sites sponsored by the publisher of the reviewed game... then put an asteriks by the review so we all know it.

Then you could do some cool stuff like publish the overall ranking of a game and next to it the ranking of 'sponsored sites'.
