The scoring is obviously going up. Metacritic already needs a different numbering system to accomodate gaming as opposed to all other types of entertainment they collect reviews for. A magazine that got a bit famous on this site for rewarding Uncharted 2 beyond a perfect score is a big part of the problem. 10's are handed out so frequently for large scale releases that the site felt compelled to go beyond 100% to stand out from the crowd and make this review special. When they wear that score thin and it doesn't have the same effect, they'll probably start making a 15/10 score or something.
