I do care about reviews, but the overall rating, not a particular reviewer/person. Gamesradar's particular review on any given game means nothing to me, but the metascore of a game after 50-90 reviews have been taken into account does speak about its quality. The user score mean shit because they go from 0 to 100 if one thing alone is not perfect.
I only expect professionalism and congruence.
A 1-10 scale, with 0.5 decimals is appropiate.
But most important: Be very specific and transparent about the criteria used to judge.

I like the concept of a metascore a lot.

As for the bolded, in your view how often does this lead to a matter of most games simply regressing into a 5-10 category where all games below 5 are sort of in the "very bad" pool? I always felt that was a flaw of that system.
