Gamespot: Your Rating System is Broken!

Is anyone else frustrated that Gamespot only ranks games in increments of .5? I wish they allowed users to still rank games in whatever increment they wanted.

Remember the days when you used to be able to define a great game from an average game? No longer does Gamespot allow that. Look at these three games for example: Animal Crossing City Folk, MySims Racing, and Madworld. All three of these games received a 7.5 from Gamespot, however it is clear MySims Racing should not have the same racing as Madworld or Animal Crossing City Folk.

Need more proof? Look at a few XBOX 360 games: Gears of War 2, Dead Space, Fallout 3, Geometry Wars Retro Evolved 2, Sid Meiers Civilization Revolution, Call of Duty 4, and Assassins Creed. Does any one of those games stick out like a sore thumb to you?! Should Geometry Wars be ranked the same as any of those other great games who no doubt give the players better visuals, gameplay, and replay value?

Come on Gamespot, give us back the old rating system so we can determine waht games are great and what games are good. We know you get money from companies whose games you rate higher, however your new rating system does no justice to the gaming industry. I used to come to this site to look for good games, however these days you just have to go somewhere else to determine what games are good and what games are great and worth your money.
