This thread makes no sense. Since when have averages ever been less credible than a single portion of it. Averages take many different opinions and find the average response to something. It's much, much more likely to be representative of the entire gaming community's opinion of a game than one site.

 so including Nintendo Power, TeamXbox, and PSXtreme, gameTM, makes the scores oh so credible. If there wasn't competely obviously biased sites like these and many more they average in I would say yes they are hold water but with them included they shouldn't hold a grain of salt. 

Nintendo Power gave SMG a 9.5; they also gave Link's Crossbow Training a 6.5.  Just because it's an official magazine doesn't mean its reviews can't be valid.  If you look at the list of reviews, some reviews are excluded.  It's probable that these reviews are both from sites that are likely to be biased AND that their review doesn't seem to match up with the score they gave it.
