Default Are Video Game Reviews Broken?

I don't know if we've had a thread like this before, but this recent article by Jim Sterling really bought the attention to them once more.

http://www.gamefront.com/gears-of-wa...-divine-right/

The general idea is that the video game review scale, is a really small scale. While it tends to exist from 1-10, for the most part, it is usually between 7-10 (70-100) and he points out the flack he got for giving Gears 3 an 8, even though that is a really respectable score.

Thoughts on this? Any reviews/reviewers you tend to stick with? Reason? Any sites you avoid?
