Mass Effect 1 was praised for being an RPG with scifi setting. Mass Effect series shifted towards another third person shooter in ME2/3 and left its RPG elements behind to appeal to established shooter fan base.
A 9/10 game may only deserve an 8.5/10 instead of 9's and 9.5/10 from most critical game reviewers.
AAA games are reviewed favourably by game reviewers and inflate scores by 5% to 10% higher than the games deserve, High review scores are used to promote game to attract more sales.
Uncharted and Gears of War and other big series probably only deserved 8.5 or 9's instead of 9.5's. There will always be haters and lovers/fans of game franchises.
