Upon noticing this, I went over to check out the scores for the videogames that were most commonly referenced as game of the year material(you know MGS4, GEOW 2, LBP, Fallout 3, etc) and none of them had a score under 90.

Bad analogy. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a mediocre movie. Great idea but the execution could have been better. And lots of people go see the movie because it has Brad Pitt as the leading character and it's about how he goes from a geezer to a baby.
