I completely agree with your disagreement. ^^
Reviewing games with a scale of 1-10 and using only the grades from 7 to 10 really annoys me as well. If I had to review games, then I'd use 1-5, with 2-5 roughly corresponding to 7-10, and 1 for everything from 1 to 6. Why have four ranks for playable games, and six for ones that are complete rubbish?
Anyway, the problem here is that IGN normally goes with "1-10 in theory, 7-10 in practice", but suddenly gave Haze a score using the full 1-10 scale, and thus a much lower score than other comparable games. Maybe the cause for this whole controversy is how one reviewer got fed up with scores nowadays, and decided to make a statement?
