but you folks are arguing the technicalities of the numerical system/score, but at the end of the day its an arbitrary number.
I'm just articulating my point very poorly.
Wii games should only be scored against Wii games (as with all other systems). Therefore a Wii game that gets an 8 isn't on par with a PS3 game that gets an 8 - because (in my mind) they shouldn't be rated on the grand scheme of "video games", rather what system the game is for; if the game is for multiple systems, review them separately.


But I agree with everything else; the scale is broken, not enough people read the content, and the whole system is just a long, slow circle-jerk.
