I think any less than a 5 means the game is unplayable.

That depends on the reviewer preferences.  I have played games rated 3/10, 4/10; and I have had a really enjoyable time with them.  God Hand was amazing and yet it was treated like crap, that is why I dont care about reviews, and you should try to do the same.

And those games should never have gotten lower than a 5 =D.

lol.   Well, as I said it depends on the reviewer, if you were the reviewer you would have rate it higher; but if the dude, that reviewed it was the customer, he would have still hated the game, even though it is a 7.5-8/10 according to you. XD.    I just pay attention to demos and gameplay trailers in order to buy a game.  Reviews are always doing to be biased toward the reviewer likings, so in the end the only person who can determine if a game is enjoyable for you is yourself.   For example, a similar case of "player perspective" is Uncharted.  Uncharted 2 has more perfect scores than Uncharted 3, but for me Uncharted 3 is better in every possible way. 

The sad thing is that people listens to reviews like they were so kind of irrefutable truth, and that makes sometimes a game to sell like crap, when it deserves better :(

I never played those games, but I don't think they're unplayable.  Worst game I've played was Star Ocean 3 and despite my hatred for it I'd probably wouldn't give the game less than a 7/10 because 70 percent of the game was good and etertaining.  The second disk of the game made me really hate it but I don't think it would be less.  Most review score are opinion based as well, but I still think that a game has to be really bad to get less than a 5 and be unplayable, kinda like Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde for nes, that game is unplayable for instance.  Superman 64, the game is essentially unplayable (From what the nerd showed me anyways).  Problem with the review system is that they'll rate perfectly playable decent games 3/4s just because.  For instance, Golden Axe: Beast Rider.  Sits at 44 on Metacritic.  I've played and beaten that game.  Is it bad?  No.  Is it Amazing?  No.  Does it deserve the 44 metacritic?  Depends if we start thinking 5/10 games are average and not "bad".  Current score system in place ranks 5 as a "bad" game.

There are very few unplayable games out there, certainly not enough to reserve half the point scale for them.

I guess I should say that 5 being an average game at its lowest.
