Do not judge a review on its score, but by its content. If you judge reviews based on their scores, you're basically ranking video games according to their title screens and ignoring everything else about them.

What reviewers need to realize is that they are the gaming media. The score is just as important as the written review. The score affects how the readers look at the game, and their scores are bogus most of the time. I am not ranking video games according to score, rather saying that the score is a part of the review and should be just as good. 

Scores are nont anywhere close to as important as the content of a review, that notion does not make sense.

And their scores are not bogus: they are internally consistent, consistent in method, and consistent in their criteria. They're among the best in the industry, regardless of whether or not I agree with them on a given score.

Score is not as important as content. Score is not as important as content. Score is not as important as content.
