[General Discussion] Best review scale?

I'd go with the x/10 feature because there's a clear low point (1), middle point (5), and high point (10). It's also akin to a x/100 system, which is what I'd use, if your x/10 uses the tenth place. But it hardly matters as long as you have a convincing text body to back up your rating.

As scores go, it's all about first impression.

The problem with the x/5 scale is that there's not as much room for differentiation, IMO. I'm not that picky when it comes to games, but a 4/5 and a 5/5 are more or less the same to me. They both represent great games. Hell, even a 3/5 would stand as a decent game. Personally though, a rating of a 2 or lower registers as awful in my opinion.

With a x/10 system, I see anything above 8 as a damn good game. Anything from 5 up to 8 seems pretty decent at first glance. Anything below 4 would register as a bad game when I first see it.
