In the grand scheme of things yea. Games get stupidly high reviews (very few well known games get under 6/10). I think people are expecting this to be goty but it will disappoint at launch, like Deus Ex: HR I predict, but to a greater extent.
7/10....8/10.. considering how so many reviews are bought or having an embargo put on them I don't tend to take "pro" reviews seriously... Who here is willing to bet that the likes of IGN is going to talk in any sort of detail about possible quest breaking bugs in skyrim if found? Remember about that delay on the prototype review?
If you gather the opinions of others by watching various user reviews on youtube (some are very informative on the good's and bad's and are a lot more trustworthy) then you should have a decent idea of the pro's/con's of a game your thinking about buying.. which is definitely better than reading a bought review..
IGN gave Fallout New Vegas a 9/10 "Amazing" when it launched and I am sure other websites have done the same..
After that saying all that... I just wish to say that I am definitely interested in RAGE and also by the fact I am a big fan of ID software so I will keep tabs on this and hopefully it turns out to be a solid game.
