I think gamespy's scoring system is perfect. 5 star instead of 10 point or 100 point system. Average gets a 2.5-3.5 while great games get a 4 and game of the year candidates get 5's.

I have no idea. I found it in the bowels of the internet. Looks weird but my guess is that's because it was slapped in paint and made into a jpg (which explains the fuzz) but legit. Either way, lol.

edit: then again the red lines are bleeding off the page. still funny though [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I think 8.8 is fair for Twilight Princess. Twice in the game (wolf parts both times) I said [censored] it and didn't play for a few days. I started again only after being convinced to keep going by one or both of Chuckleslovakian or MadTown.

I don't think a game which is that frustrating should get more than 9/10.

I thought TP was a reasonably good game, but I prefer a more stringent point allocation (namely ave=5 rather than 7). I'd give TP an 8.
