They're dropping numbers in favor of words. So the review system is completely in place. What was nice was when game magazines had three people review a game, usually one in depth and two smaller reviews. You could see in the mag which authors preferred what kinds of games and then with their reviews you could be like, oh I always like Bobs reviews, his reviews line up well with what I like. The personalization is gone with all the meta reviews.
