You really have to know the reviewer's tendencies for some time before you can usefully assess their score. Gamepro and IGN and some of the "Official" pubs scores skew high. They have for years, so I take their word with a grain of salt. Other pubs seem to be willfully stingy in scoring, and theirs I take with a grain of salt. You have to know what you require in game analysis and which reviewers' share the same values. I like 1up and EGM, not because they are the best, but because I have a good idea of their personalities and know what to look for in their reviews.
