YOU are missing the point big time Darth. If the scores are useless, why have them in the first place? And many people rely on user scores more than on professional reviews so they can send the wrong signal.

Once again just confirming what I said: that these scores are useless.

However from my experience this is not the case, even indie games with new and odd concepts tend to get pretty good user scores.
Metacritic is the best source for this - but isn't Abandonia good enough an example for you? There's hundreds of examples - seems pointless to spend effort finding them when it's so obvious.
