I do understand what you mean, though. If someone that wasn't even looking forward to playing the game gives it an "8," and I don't know if that was the case really except that MGS3 was a great game and got the same score, then obviously there is something impressive about the game that got the person to enjoy it.
If Bod played a MGS game and gave it anything over a 6 I would be shocked, for instance. I just would rather a fan of a series review a game because that tells me that if I'm inclined to like it, I will. It is still hard for a game to get perfect scores when someone is a fan of it, so games that get really high scores are still highly regarded.
