Why should a review score be anywhere near the average? Surely personal opinion means there will be deviations? Shouldn't we embrace differing opinions of big releases, rather than attacking them? Isn't it better to have different opinions and reactions to a big release rather than "ZOMG GREATEST GAME EVAR" every time the next big blockbuster comes out? If you look at the reviews for Avatar, film critics have rated it from 50 to 100, resulting in an average of 84. Why can't there be a similar range of opinion and reaction in the games industry?
