I find that 1up tends to have extreme high or low scores, nowhere inbetween. If a game is deserving of a 70 or something, BAM A+, If a game is worthy of an 85, F.

I don't like it but that does have an effect on the reviewers that stick to 6-10 instead of 1-10 though. Go to RottenTomatoes.com to see movies coming out all the time getting lower than 20%, because it collects so many reviews on either fresh or rotten, no in between. It gives a much better idea of the quality of a movie than videogame reviews do for games...is a 7.5 good? mediocre? awful? It can mean any one of these things sometimes.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )
