In the writer's defense, he did add:

That five-of-10 is actually a hedge, by the way. For D&D fans who want to play an amazingly thorough PC translation of the system they're carting around in book form, it's probably closer an eight or nine.

So it's not as though he assumed out-of-hand the reader would agree. Also, I'm sort of pleased to see a game review nowadays that doesn't tick off aesthetics and call it informative. But the general tone of the review
is a bit unprofessional (for a non-personal news'n'reviews site, certainly), and unfortunately only the 'hedged' score will be the one people remember (because in Internetland, hard numbers always trump 1000-word analysis). Still, counterpoint would've been a better option than pulling it entirely. That's the stuff that fuels censorship cries.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
