dante.. I put forward the same question I asked DMeisterJ.
My input on things, is that reviewers are finding it harder to score games. It's onlygoing to get harder to justify games scores as the gaming industry gets older. The more games we have to compare, the more awkward positions reviewers are going to get when they give a game a certain score. Obviously they cannot change a previous ranking in a franchise to make a relative consistency so I guess we'll have to deal with this.
I suppose this is an advantage of reviews out of 5 as they do not need to go into such detail on the scoring. I still would prefer reviews that had no numerical ranking system, regardless of the negative implications.
