Is there any chance that games that obviously deserve high scores can't get a rating below 5?

It is INCREDIBLY annoying seeing games like Halo 3, Metroid Prime 3, and Final Fantasy VII getting scores of 1 just because they want to lower the overall score.

I completely agree. 

It happens everywhere on the internet and no one has seemed to figure out a way to weed out the haters.  It's one thing to not like, say for example, the Godfather... but even someone who doesn't like the actual movie should be able to appreceiate the acting, production values, directing, etc and NOT give it a 1 out of 10 on imdb just because they're a hater and want to see the overall score come down so their favorite movie goes up.  I think Casablanca is great, and think Citizen Kane is ok... but I would never give CB a 10 and CK a 1 just to squew the rankings and have my favorite win.

In the case of videogames, maybe any game that is ranked above an 85% at gamerankings should have a minimum cap of 5 in the voting.
