Sadly, that is true. People like to focus on the negative reviews and criticize them, but the truth is, the positive reviews aren't much better. In all honesty, I usually focus on negative reviews more because, while I don't necessarily agree with them, they atleast point out the potential flaws. The overly positive reviews....I just have a hard time trusting. When an attempt isn't even made to criticize the game (no game is perfect), I take the review with a grain of salt

Exactly. The reason why I used Uncahrted 2 was not to start a war, but to show people how that game wasn't a 10. However a bunch of reviewers who are biased reviewed the game and decided not to point out flaws and if they did decided not to negativly mark them for it.
I don't care what you want in the game. I care what is in the game and how good it is. So many people try to get themselves over in these reviews instead of just reviewing the game properly.

Truth is the 10/10 scores don't particularly bother me because I don't put much stock on the numerical scores, especially when a lot of places operate on the 5 star scale or only grade in one point increments (Eurogamer...I think and IGN last year). In these cases, rounding up could result in a 10/10. What bothers me, as I said before, is when they don't even attempt to criticize the game. There's always room for improvement, and critics should at least integrate that fact into their reviews.
