I still think they need to just get rid of the numbers and go for a streamlined set of adjectived. I've been parroting the FUDGE list for some time now: Superb, Great, Good, Fair, Mediocre, Poor, and Terrible. It's unambiguous, it's inflation-proof, it's basically impossible to hide bias, and it discourages this inane practice of directly comparing different games via review scores.
Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
