I used to dislike the 5 star system that X-play used but I now believe it's the best. None of the petty crap that game x got .1 more pts than game y. A must play game gets 5 stars and a piss poor one gets 1 star. Let the GotY awards determine what the best game for each system and genre are.
The main problem is there is not basic standard for reviewers to base their scores. A 10 of 10 for one reviewer might be a must play game while for another it's perfection
A 5 might be average for one reviewer while it's a 7 from another.
Then you have sites like metacritic and game rankings that try to average out all these scores when there is no base score that all the reviewers use as average.
When it comes down to it the content of the review is really more important than the score. The problem is to many people are lazy to read a review and want it summed up into a quantity.
