Onyxmeth, would you say that the ideal scoring system - at least in theory - would be to drop a scoring system altogether?

Absolutely. That would fix almost every problem. It's not that scoring is a bad thing either. It's just that the people in this artistic field(if gaming truly is an art) are not responsible enough to be dealing with numbers. It would have to be something many publications were in agreement with though. Having one or two sites do it would be useless.

We are in general agreement, then.

Though I do disagree on one point: get two or three sites that are big enough, and when they change it will make a difference.

Well if it's IGN, Gamespot and Game Informer, I suppose that could be enough to spark some change. If we're talking about Giant Bomb, VGChartz and Eurogamer though, not a shot in hell.

if we can make vgchartz big enough, we could cause a revolution in the reviewing system..
