That KZ2 will probably accrue the same aggregate.

 

How so?  IGN gave Resistance 2 a 9.5.  It's average is an 87.  IGN gave Gears 2 a 9.5.  It's average is a 92.  Why would your rule apply to PSOM and not to IGN or some other publication?

Because PSOM have reviewed KZ2 and IGN haven't?

 

Your notion is not logical.  One score from a publication cannot be used to infer the likely average of a game.  PSOM NA gave MotorStorm: Pacific Rift a 6/10, a full 20 points lower than the game's average on GameRankings.  They gave Killzone 2 a 10.  Can we infer from that that most sites will give Killzone 2 20 points higher than PSOM's score?

Well they are different magazines, you are talking about the US mag, this it the UK mag, but generally I think they are very accurate, and apart from Mirror's Edge, they are usually +- 10% at most, which is good considering they do whole numbers only. Admittedly, this does not mean it will end up with an aggregate of 88%, but it means it will probably range from 95 to 85
