Kotaku's "love/hate" system is ok, but it's not needed if the actual review contains the love/hate system intrinsically. Although I'm on the edge, I still support the 1-10 system because it's just a guideline as to how we felt, as a reviewer, about a certain game.
It's the fanboys who ruin it, when they don't look at a site's review system and see that a "7" means "good".

Haha, I've been around enough to discern that about you, but I just wanted to throw in my 2 cents!

I have a friend who scales his scores out of 76

Please, please, please someone do this.

Eh... I regard "professional reviews" and critic's scores about the same as I regard someone's blog. It's simply an interesting read and one person's opinion.
Sacred 2 got skewered in the ratings... but it's a really great game - but then again, that's only "my" opinion! :)

But I don't use numbers. If you're gonna drop any amount of money on something (or better yet, are going to invest any serious amount of time in a game), at least spend ten minutes reading a review. A score says only so much. Why, does it tell you if the controls suck? If there are many glitches? If the characters are boring? Etc.
I also don't like using numbers because I can't get a feel for what's X/10 or whatever. I can just give you my opinion on it all, but that's it. *shrugs*

While I can't say Jim is biased (I know this is a joke-blog, I'm just sayin') he is a whore for those hits/comments/views/etc, more so in the past few months.

I don't mind the scores attached to the DToid reviews because there's plenty of meat to them. If I can dig in and get a real sense of why they chose to gave the scores they do, they don't bug me. I don't use scores in my reviews, as I want people to debate or vibe with my opinions and not my "judgement".
