Your complicated "equation" reduces to just (your score+10)/2, aka halfway between your score and 10/10.

This also means that anything mainstream reviewers score less than 5 you would have to score negatively.

No it doesn't.  You take X(my score) - 10 x -1, which gives you whatever is left, so if I scored 6.25 which is the case for this game, 2.75.  Then Y(2.75) x .5(or /2) + X(my score) = Z(the inflated score.)  You'd get 7.625, which rounds down to 7.6. 

If you do the same thing for let's say a 1/10, then 1 - 10 x -1 = 9.  9 x .5 + 1 =  5.5.  It's pretty accurate, because most games that score 5.5 journalists act like they're unplayable, where a 1/10 should be regarded as something that's unplayable.
