Only a handful of games in history should ever receive a 9.5 or over and only perhaps a handful of games every decade should receive a 9 or over. The fact that there are several games that receive these scores each year is the problem.
There are only 3 movies in history that have received over 90 on imdb 250. The highest rated movie EVER is rated 9.1. Game scores should be far harsher and they should take into account the social/philosophical relevance and meaning of the game just as movie reviews do. A movie without thematic substance never rates in the 80's.
