if all you want to do is read the reviews, why does it having a number or not affect you whatsoever? Does the number at the end make all of the writing that you read useless and pointless?

 

because it would be better for most people, to be able to make informed decisions based on thought. Not use a numeric score as demagogy. it would also remove pressure on reviewers in larger publications. without a numeric score the words they use will have more power, and should lead to more games being fully played through for reviews..... in short a better source of information for the gaming public and a better situation for those reviewing
