the problem with the current game scale is that so many games are rated 90 , and you don't know anymore how to sort which one really deserves that rating and which ones don't. there is an implication at being reviewed 90 : it means the game is very very good.
look at GTA4 getting 100 ratings across the board, despite all the technical issues it has. If you look at that score, you can easily be led to think that the game has no flaws. The 'real' rating of that game should reflect all the issues it has, and should not be just based solely on hype. so many games are reviewed high based on hype alone and not through quality.
