How comes nearly no game reaches that level? Because they are all that good? No, obviously not.

A 5/10 is considered terrible or do you wanna tell me that Sonic Boom is an average game? Please don't say "yes".

7.5 is really mediocre for a videogame, almost disappointing for a AAA game.

Sonic Boom is at a 32 on metacritic currently, now that is goddamn terrible. Knack is at a 54. That is mediocre, right at the middle. Playable and functional but unremarkable overall.

I'll leave it at that, ratings work differently for most people so I'll agree to disagree that a 7.5 is mediocre. A 7.5, in my eyes, is a good game. Not great, but good. Videogames are held to a much higher standard than most other things for whatever odds reason. The sooner we start utilizing the 0 to 10 scale more often OR no score at all (in my honest opinion) the sooner we can avoid these petty quarrels.

Heh, funny thing, I think it was Uncharted 2 that got a 50 from a site that Metacritic allows, hah, Knack was 4 pts better than Uncharted 2, confirmed!
