I shared some thoughts about the scoring system back in July in this thread:

I do operate on a full spectrum, but to be honest, when it comes to games, it's a lot harder to find examples of stuff that has NO redeemable qualities.  almost all games out there ARE varying shades of good.  it's very rare to see a game that is poorly made, poorly presented, and has no value.  even the worst games (Duke Nukem Forever, for example) that are released to the mainstream still have good parts.  I had fun in some parts of that game, and I gave that a 37 (I did the review for this site).  

While I do agree that it sucks that game review seems to be constrained within 30-40% of the total scale, but that's because that's what most games ARE.  few games are BAD or TERRIBLE, but many are overrated.  

I see you failed to heed my advice and did not read up on statistics...

That old clamshell again?  Seriously dude, let it go.  I understand statistics quite well, but no amount of pestering will make me think that your method is any better than mine.  If you want to do it 'statistically accurate', and you want the average to hover around 50, then start your own site, do your own reviews.  I do my own reviews, I review for here, and the methods GamrReview and I have work just fine.
