I think it's fair to say that many of us would like to drop the score or make it less specific, Reasonable, and force people to take the content alone, but given the current climate for reading reviews it's just not feasible for us right now if we want to continue building a readership. A site like IGN might be able to get away with it, but us? Not yet. We can't buck trends that hard.

The review system is always under review, though, always being talked about, and you can rest assured that what you say is being taken into consideration, because you do represent at least part of the readership.
