If 30 reviewers all give a game 20% you can be pretty sure it's shit. Likewise if it's at the upper end you can then decide if you want to take a punt or read on places like this to get a consensus.

You're missing a trick there. Just like I know that Jonathan Ross has a thing for Japanese culture, I can adjust for what an aggregate of the masses like.
