How do you correctly read review scores?

[MikeRox]

If it's your type of game, anything 5+ is worth considering.

I tend to ignore professional reviews as they're generally very uninformed. Look at the huge cult following games like Dynasty Warriors have, yet they rarely score anything above 6, yet if you talk to Dynasty Warriors fans, they'll sing most of the games praises viewing them as 9/10 games. Videogame journalism will never portrait that.
