Why? So they can inflate scores?
Personally, I am much more impressed by a "hater" giving a game an 8/10 than a fanboy giving every piece of shit that neatly fits into his favorite genre a 9/10 or higher.
With the non-fan, you're getting an objective view of the game... With the fanboy, subjective. It's in their head and they're too willing to gloss over serious faults because they want to like the game no matter what.
Remember, an 8/10 is still a "B" rating... Still a good game, still much better than average, and still worth playing. Most importantly, you know that review is coming from someone who hasn't jerked off to every Kojima interview for the past three years. That means something and I guarantee that whatever that guy has to say is going to reflect the game more accurately than anything most fanboy reviewers gush over in the typical "AAA" review.
