Every time a game is released that is a 9.5-10 that game becomes the standard. Which means if two years later a clone of the same game was released it should receive a 7.5 or something like that since it is now only on par with the standard set years before it. All games released after that should be better than the new set standard in order for it get a perfect 10 not just as good.
It's the reason why uncharted 3 isn't getting as high of scores as Uncharted 2 because that game became the bench mark. Uncharted 3 was only on par with Uncharted 2 so it can't get the same score since the game was released 2 years after the standards for genre was set. Gaming standards should be increasing as more amazing games get released.
Which is why I don't get Zelda reviews. Oot was released 10 years ago and the next entries are barely able to surpass it. Oot set the standard so if another Zelda game is released that only meets it's level of excellence or only barely exceeds it shouldn't it receive at most an 8 since it couldn't surpass the standard set which would now become the 7.5 level?
