The lowest I can objectively rank a game is 7, unless it falls in the Big Rigs quality kind of game, but I've seen your LBP response and you actually gave a detailed and objective reason for it.

Well I think the true 'average' rating for a game is a 5. I think Leo-J posted this in the LBP thread, but in this ranking game, we are told that a 7 must be an average. In that context, I think rating it a 5 without saying shit is just dishonest.

True, and 5 should be held as the True average, I believe that would be a better parameter than considering 7 as the average. But since that's the parameter of this ranking game, as you said, rating it lower without explaining your reasoning behind it is not honest at all. I guess it's hard for most people to keep objectivity when it comes to rating games, especially if you have some gripes about that game, but in the end, it will all come down to personal preference. Hell, one of my most beloved games of all time, Granstream Saga is at 73% average in GameRankings, yet it's one of the best i've ever played ;)

I'm just going about how almost every reviewer rates games.  Almost every single reviewer has 6-7 as average.

When you go to metacritic or gamerankings you would be hard pressed to find a game thats at 50% that is actually average.  Most games that are 50% are bad games.  There's always exceptions, but generally 50 is a plain out bad game.
