Fair question. Since I look at things as a grade, I can see a 10-point scale using a 10- there's a significant difference between 9 (90%) and 10 (100%). I do think they should be more restrained in their use than they are now, but I can see it. I'd probably start thinking no perfect scores at about a 40-point system; the difference between 9.75 and 10 is small enough that it really starts to seem to talk about that upper echolon of perfection. By the time you're at 100 points, there really is no excuse to give any game a perfect score. There is no such thing as a 'perfect' game; a game may be the best when it comes out, but to get 100 points, I would expect to find not a SINGLE flaw in the game. And if I dig enough, I can find a flaw...
