I wish they didn't round review scores to the nearest 0.5

That's a pretty mediocre score these days, the way he talked about the game made it seem a lot better than the final review score. I'm undecided, guess I'll wait for more reviews.

I'm with you man, only idiots buy games rated below 9.0.

ROFL Spot on dude, people nowadays are s..... not too bright when it comes to reading reviews. It is the fans who have the bad perception. WKC was in the 7's or so, but I thouroughly enjoyed it giving it a low 8 (good in my book since I spent about a 100ish hours), then you have overrated crap like ODST that scores 9's when it's a rehash of 3 with inferior characters (compared to master chief) in super short sp campaign. Review scores are scewed based on how much pubs and devs give as "incentives" to websites. My suggestion is check the forums for GAMERS not fanboys, and see what scores they give certain games and WHY those scores are given, as opposed to seeing a number and disregarding the game because it's not a 9.5. If we went by that then Xenogears sucked (got 8ish on gamespot), or perhaps FF XIII is the second coming since it got a 39/40 in Famitsu. people have to stop being sheep and read and see which reviewers you can relate to the most.
