Yeah, a 7 is a pretty solid score. For those of you who've forgotten, check out IGN's review scores.

10.0 (Masterful)
No game is absolutely perfect, but 10s represent the pinnacle of gaming brilliance. It doesn't get any better than this, and products in this range are virtually flawless. This is like winning the lottery on your birthday. It takes a rare and special game to earn a 10 from IGN.
9.5 to 9.9 (Incredible)
Titles in this range are exceptional indeed. They're fantastic achievements in design, gameplay, and concept or "all of the above," with only minor flaws or imperfections. Without a doubt, these are must-own titles that stand at the top of their field.
9.0 to 9.4 (Outstanding)
If a game scores a 9.0 or better, you know it's a worthwhile experience with just a few imperfections. Games of this caliber are also must-haves, even if you're not particularly fond of the genre.
8.5 to 8.9 (Great)
An excellent gaming experience that misses the boat in just a few key areas, titles that score in this range are still highly recommended by IGN. More often than not, these games also earn our prestigious "Editor's Choice" award, although it's not a guarantee.
8.0 to 8.4 (Impressive)
On the cusp of greatness, "Impressive" games may not always have the award-winning qualities of our higher-rated titles, but they're still a heck of a lot of fun and should appeal to most gaming enthusiasts.
7.5 to 7.9 (Good)
A good game has some obvious flaws, but these blemishes are overshadowed by one or several first-rate elements. While these games may not be for everyone, they're still entertaining enough to provide genuine entertainment while they last.
7.0 to 7.4 (Decent)
Though titles in this range have shortcomings that keep them from achieving "classic" status, they still boast enough credible ingredients to make them fun in smaller doses.
6.0 to 6.9 (Passable)
Games in this range have more faults than strengths, but still might be worth a look if you're into genres of its type. Other games are polite to the sixes, but they don't get invited to any of the parties. Rent these games or download the demo first before spending your hard-earned money on it.
