The number for the review actually tells me whether I need to read the review or not.
For example, if a game I was already going to buy gets a 9 then I know I'll be getting the game. That way I don't end up reading about any potential spoilers etc.
On the otherhand, if it gets a 5 (ie LAIR) I'll read the review to see why it scored so low.
