 how does a 7 makes it an average game? It always surprises me how people really believe a hard number can reflect how good or bad games are.

That is the exact definition of metacritic itself... 7 is in the range of "Mixed or Average reviews" and is matching the description of most of the review sites I personally trust. As an engineer I think a hard number is a GREAT way to reflect how good or bad is a game, specially because is a language that most if not all can understand quickly.
