Sometimes the scores could actually be warranted and other times it could be a cultural thing. Who would want to be the site who "bashes" (giving scores below 8.5 is apparently bashing in some peoples eyes) a very popular franchise?
People would, stupid as it sounds, loose trust in them for rating their favourite games lower than they expected/wanted and the sites/magazines could pay dearly for it, loosing users/readers and get into a lot of trouble for a very long time.
Just my 0.02 dollars, no fuzz.
