I don't know for you Tuttle, but I myself rate the game in function of the game mechanics, problems found playing it, potential for fun etc and not about if I liked the game or not in itself.

I beleive that's easy to do when you played a lot of games and know what can be new or not.

I always dismiss a review which says "I love this game, it's the best!" on the spot.

As for game ratings, my rating is always high, but that's because I only review games I'm totaly in. That's why I prbably know better what game can provide then someone who just read review or take a quick look at the game, so my oppinion of what game can offer is high. Still, I doub that's much important.
