The thing is, it's a curve that games get graded on, there is no set mark of 9 or 10. If you took Dragon Blade Wrath Of Fire back to 1990 it would score 10s across the board for being revolutionary with almost photorealistic graphics, intense action and an amazing provocative storyline. But it was released now where it's a fairly average game that has a shallow storyline, last gen graphics, and ordinary fights.
If developers are getting SO good that every month has a game or two that gets a 9 or 10, then maybe they aren't keeping up with the curve. 9s and 10s should be the top tier and revolutionary/apex of the art form scores respectively, but it would seem 9 and 10 simply represent "alot of money went into this game, and it's pretty fun, so TEN!"
