I have never said that your point about the users scores being useless is wrong. I think they are useless for a different reason, I hate all reviews giving scores or points or thumbs or whatever. I pay no attention to them what so ever, if I like a game I like it, I don't need to be validated by a review score nor do I get angry when others don't agree with me.
Lulus idea is the best one so far, it solves all the problems. It stops this from sounding like people being elitist and might actually make people look at a game they never would have before.
However if this isn't really about having a part of the mag to showing off a game that others have panned but isn't really all that bad but rather about how you don't like user ratings then this isn't really the place for it. Peoples opinions will always differ and no matter how good a game is there will always be people who don't like it.
