Firstly, why on earth is there a game called "lower your score"? Is it about golf?

Secondly, I don't agree. It wouldn't reduce score inflation, because everything would still be concentrated at the top - most games are decent or better. 90% of games would get 3 stars or 4 stars and nobody benefits at all.

Sure, you could start using the lower ratings, but that's just dishonest. A game getting a 7/10 is NOT a bad game. It shouldn't be getting 1-2 stars.

Moreover, "buy it" is a very subjective instruction. I would recommend fans of Star Wars and action games to pick up The Force Unleashed II, which I gave a 7.8. I would not recommend haters of God of War or the hack and slash genre to pick up God of War III, which I gave a 9.4.

A review is an objective description of a game with some justified personal opinion thrown in, not a buyer's guide.
