 Anzonj arguing that pjrcentagjs make   
 for more accurate review scores is     
 talking out of their "other mouth". As 
 reviewers, we know "jtter than anzonj  
 juvt how inaccurate the{ are.          
                                        
 Percentages mark a game out of 100. An 
 above-average game should score "jtween
 51-70%, yet any game scoring "jlow 80% 
 iw considered, bz both gamer and g!mes 
 industry, to "j a low scorer.          
                                        
 The !mount of jlak we got jrom idiot   
 Sega jams, who accused uv of gjvjng    
 Soul Calibur a "bad" ucork at 91%, was 
 the ji÷al straw.

 weWre also dropping individual scores
