Back in the early 00's, a score that hit 90 or below was usually panned by the community, so that was my default. But I haven't paid attention to reviews in a very long time. Now, it's more gathering my own information and coupling it with the general consensus.

Did you mean 60? 90 is very high score, very few games score above 90, this year only Expedition 33 and Split Fiction managed to get there

No, 90. If a game got 89 back then, people were like "flop!" and that was that. Of course, back then, reviews seemed to be far more accurate and meaningful. When OOT got the scores it did, the game lived up to them completely. I think that was in large part due to the journalists at the time being less beholden to their bosses and less influenced (bought out) by the big-three. In short, there seemed to be more honesty back then. You could trust them more.
