I once had a gaming blog that sometimes reviewed games. Our scoring system was this:





It was simple, yet got the point across. Plus, it made readers actually live up to their name and read the written review.

The best scoring system, if you ask me. I really wish it would be more popular. You can almost always tell if a game is good, average or bad, but if it's a masterpiece or just a solid game largely depends on your taste, preferences, maybe cultural background, etc. pp.... so in fact, a simple thumbs up/thumbs down/something in between system is the only "safe" and appropriate way to rate a game. And as you said, it pushes people to actually read the article, which is more important anyway.
