A video game review, by practice, usually shows one person’s critique of a particular video game based on a predetermined value set, and is usually followed by some sort of grade. Using these guidelines one can see how different games stack up against each other, and whether you should consider buying it. When a game called Grand Theft Auto IV came out all norms of game scoring seemed to be tossed out the window. There were more than a handful of review sites that listed the game as “the best game ever made” and literally broke down their own scoring systems giving the game insane scores like 11/10. I guess it’s as Nigel Tufnel says in the movie Spinal Tap.
In the film, Nigel pointed out to director Marty DiBergi that the settings on Tap’s Marshall amps could extend beyond the standard 10 mark. Nigel stated "You see, most blokes will be playing at 10. You’re on 10, all the way up, all the way up...Where can you go from there? Nowhere. What we do, is if we need that extra push over the cliff...Eleven. One louder."
So there you go, when you want to invalidate your scoring system, just take it up to eleven! 11 means it's better.
