If there is one positive thing I can take away from these score choices, it is that I am glad there is such diversity in terms of what each gaming individual defines as perfection. It is also that reviewers have definitely become more lax in their ratings. I made a thread about review scores being undeservedly high in modern times months ago; now here is the very subjective proof.

Yes, but one reason I believe is that IGN had a .5 scale for a few years before going back to the .1 scale, GameSpot switched to a .5 scale and Famitsu...I guess they have just lowered their standards

Which is why I tend to trust Metacritic and Gamerankings above all else when it comes to reviews. The average of many different review scores has a better chance of accurately informing me about my purchase. It's like getting a 90th opinion from a Doctor. I guess the only question then is how many of those Doctors are quacks haha.

Other than that this site has some very respectable reviewers, TotalBiscuit is informative, and Angry Joe isn't afraid to criticise; so I would recommend them.
