They are a useful general guide, but the important part of a review is discussing the actual gameplay and such. Furthermore, quality being subjective, different people will give different games different scores. I've sunk dozens and dozens of hours into a game that has a 59% on gamerankings (Victoria for PC). In short, I feel quibbling over the numerical summary of a game is silly. Arguing vehemently over the internet even more so. |
Then you won't like this place very much! 
I agree that reviews are only a numeric value without much substance. I've played, and loved, my share of low rated games. On the flip side, my list of games I find to be utter crap but that got good or even blazing reviews, is ever growing. Needless to say, I don't take reviews very seriously any more.
