> why can't a game get 10 out of 10?
--
Well, it's not that games can't get 10/10, but it's just the ratings for games that aren't on the X-Box are so bad.
Mario Sunshine and TimeSplitters 2 both didn't get 10/10, and I'd say that they're both pretty perfect games.
Medal of Honour: Frontline, which I think is a brilliant game only got 5/10. I mean, what the hell???
And Edge is crap, read it once about two years ago and never touched it again.

excuse me? where did you learn maths?
using a rounding sum idea, 10/10 can mean anything from 95% to 100% assuming 100% is the maximum value. So for a start, it doesn't at all imply it's perfect, and is of course a far better system than marking out of 100.
And what does it mean when a game gets 10/10? Does it mean it's perfect? Don't be so blindly ignorant. it means it's good. Better by a significant margin than some similar game which scored 9/10 perhaps. what's the point of limiting yourself to a maximum of 9, when that only puts you in the same place?
And how can even a blank CD score 0, when it has obvious value? It's impossible.

Everyone,10/10 = 100% you can not go over that it is the max you can get.
Yes you can get 0/10 if you hand in a blank Cd and call it table wars that will get a 0.
the chances of that are nothing.
the chances of a game being perfect are nothing.

I do believe I just said that.
By rating something 10/10 isn't saying the game is perfect. But saying that no game can attain 10/10 is ludicrous. It also implies that no game can recieve 0/10, since no game can be perfectly crap.
you can't have 0 without having infinity, so if you want to look at it like that, you're not marking out of 10 but only 8 instead. what's the point in that?
What kind of blithering idiot thinks that by marking something 10 out of 10 it is therefore absolutely perfect?

Then you couldn;t get 9/9 it means the same thing you can not get a perfect game.
Then people would say the same of 9.
it's not saying that it's perfect, it's just saying that it's bloody good.
