But IGN doesn't average scores. That why it says NOT AN AVERAGE at the end of every review

 

That means that the score is whatever they want it to be rather than the logical conclusion of the review.

Anyway, IGN isn't much better than Gamespot for reviews(it is though).

 

It also means they can give an score indicative of how good they think the game is, without being influenced by the technical ratings (for example, it would be unfair to lower the score of Football Manager because it's a text based simulator and has bad graphics and sound, everyone knows they're some of the most addicting games ever).

In the end, you can choose to see the glass half full or half empty
