We'll know by the end of the year. Some huge games incoming.

I agree with this.  Let's see if The Last of Us, BioShock Infinite, Crysis 3, Aliens: Colonial Marines, GTA 5, and Dead Space 3, among others, end up breaking 90.

That being said, it is true that the bar keeps being raised over the course of a generation.  Halo 4, to borrow your example, is being compared against every other major game of this generation.  What if it had released -before- games like Uncharted 2, Arkham City, Borderlands 2, or Mass Effect 2/3?  Would they have seen a lower score as a result of following Halo 4?  It's probably not quite fair, but videogame scores are highly subjective relative to previous games in the same gen.
