yeah, reviewers are broken. But...what if some reviewer uses the 5-star scoring system? Is he not allowed to give 5 stars ever? I personally like the 5 star system with 0.5 intervals between stars, like Amazon's. It's simple. On the other hand IGN's system is just too wide, it's like 1-100 but with decimals, leaves too much room for ambiguity. Anyway, 10 seems too big a number to me. I like 5. To me the distance between 4.5 and 5 it's not as significant as the distance between 9.5 and 10. The latter since bigger. I don't know if I make any sense, it's a perception thing. 10 is so absolute. It's a cultural thing I guess. I like IMDB's 1-10 system though, without intervals. Another good way to score a review is using words, just like IGN does, but without the numbers. Mediocre, Bad, Decent, Average, Good, Great, and so on. This is also a good way to entice the readers to read your comment and not simply scroll down to look at a number, letter or star. But I guess the "reviewing community" has decided to use systems that are quantifiable or can be translated to numbers.
