Killzone 2 was 2009 and came out after CoD 4: MW, Resistance 1 & 2 and Bioshock. It's harder for an FPS to get high scores compared to an open world game.

Up until last gen reviewers were much more easy going with the scores, getting 90s wasn't that uncommon, and even high 90s happened a good couple times, which didn't happen at at this gen, btw, biggest scores are 93s up until now.
5th and 6th gen gaming reviews were much simpler, reviewers had a lot of freedom to depict their scores as "loved it, 100" than they have nowdays, and last gen with the HD gaming boom, they were more easily impressioned than they are nowdays.

From now on, the standard is higher than it was, so games nowdays and foward will have a lot, a whole lot of trouble to reach what past games used to.

Indies are the ones getting an easier time this gen.

From now on? When do you think these harsher reviews started? Because there are a lot of games this gen that received over 90%. Even last gen, only 5 FPS received more than 90% last gen and those include MW 1 & 2 and Bioshock.
