I was diheartened when the community here chose the 100 point scale for this website's reviews.... although the poll did I think have 2 different ones that are essentially the same scoring system (0.0, 0.1, 0.3 through to 9.9, 10.0.... and out of 100 are the same thing)

Out of 5 or less if a score is somehow vitally needed.

I like this method also, and only in single digit increments.

5=Amazing
4=Great
3=Good/Average
2=Bad
1=Unplayable

This allows the reviewer to express themselves through the written portion of the review and not use the numbering as a crutch, at least it should help in theory. This way also, 5 doesn't have to mean perfect. It just describes the cream of the crop, or upper echelon of games.
