I tend to not put value into any reviewer's numerical system because they oftentimes don't match what the reviewer actually thinks. Furthermore, for far too many games, I've found that the opinions of professional reviewers to be pretty garbage. If I were to care about what a reviewer though (which I don't), then I would actually read the text of the review (which I don't). Numerical scores simply let me know if I should consider looking at a game. Generally high scores would encourage me to see some YouTube videos, play a demo, etc., but no further than that.
However, if I were to review games, I would probably use the following scoring system (If I used numbers at all):
10 - Masterpiece (GOTG contender)
9 - Excellent (GOTY contender)
8 - Great Game / Thoroughly enjoyable
7 - Good Game / Mostly Enjoyable
6 - Fair Game/ Nothing Special
5 - Bland
Anything lower than a 5 I probably wouldn't bother playing
