Personally I hate high review scores more than I do low ones.
If a certain game tends to get some lower scores here and there below the median of review scores, then at least you know it does have certain issues, whether it be with controls, poor AI, lame story or repetitive gameplay, or even the fact that it's not necessarily a game for everyone and appeals more to specific tastes than others, so you can factor these things in when making a purchase.
Conversely, if a big release gets like all 9-9.5's and above simply because it's a high profile title and no game reviewer wants to be "that guy" who gives the game a low score, then you're doing a disservice to gamers who are expecting said game to blow them away, and then they play it and find out that everything isn't cupcakes and rainbows as expected.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
