0 got a laugh out of me. Not sure why you (like many others) are so averse to giving a game a "10." I don't know of any significant film critics who refuse to give any movie a four-star rating on principal that it's not absolutely perfect in every way. I guess if you're using decimals you could theoretically get up to 9.9, but then why not just treat "10" like an asymptote, with an example game's score being capable of being arbitrarily close to 10 (9.99999999) such that you may as well round up?
I would think that if someone wanted to banish the high-end extreme altogether, they would do the same for the low-end. I guess you probably won't be reviewing any EA games, though, so you'll never use the 0, either. I suppose that's fair then.

In most cases the 4 stars are out of a 5 star rating system (well...most of the systems I've ever seen anyway) , so 4 stars ISN'T a perfect score.

The 4-star scale is the gold standard for film reviews, at least in the US.
