VGC never gave a review score of 10. Do you think GT5 will change that?

To answer the question - no, not at all. Signal is reviewing GT5 by the way, not me.

I don't ever see us giving a game a 10. I certainly hope we don't, anyway. Not sure how the other content editors feel, but that's how I feel.

I start getting antsy whenever someone proposes a score above 9.2 for a game. Blind panic sets in at about 9.5 or over. I dunno what a 10 would do to me, but I'd rather not find out :/

This, I agree with wholeheartedly. A score over 9, for me, is a game that would stand the test of time. Over 9.5, for me, means if I were on a deserted island with power, that one game could keep me happy.

Unfortunately, the site doesn't quite agree with me on the other thing I wish video game reviews would do. The average of 0 and 10 is 5, thus an average game should get a 5, not a 7-8. Think about it for games- what's the difference between a 3.0 and 2.5 on a 10-point scale? Both would be called absolute shit.

That comes down to your own definition of average imo. To me I expect every game to be fun and functional if those two criteria are met the game is average-good to me which would be a 7. If the game isn't all that fun or all that functional that is when you dip into the mediocre to abysmal category which is 5 and below.
