Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

The Gametrailers review just confused me. They basically tear it apart, have very few good things to say about it, but then they still give it a 9.1

That's an issue I have with a lot of their reviews.

Sometimes the content doesn't really match the score they end up giving it.

Even IGN point out some issues and still threw a 10 at the game. Most reviews across the board admit that having to recalibrate the controller is annoying and an issue that you never had to put up with in the past. I don't doubt the awesomeness of this game, but reviewers hand out 10s like hotcakes these days.

Reviewers need to do what Yahtzee does or something...only less meanly.

Oh yeah, that I don't get either, but the defense is always that a 10 doesn't mean a game is perfect.

I really think the whole gaming scale is a broken mess.

That's what I was going to point out, that defense. I think the reviewers have an idea of what they mean by a ten and the audience doesn't even have that. The opinions on what is a ten that I've read from forum users varies considerably.
