''There's a long running debate, on this site and in this industry as a whole, about "perfect scores." What does a "ten out of ten" mean? For some sites and magazines, editors and reviewers go to great lengths to make sure that even the best games around can only hope to come close to the unachievable perfect number. I have always gone the other way. I've given out lots of perfect scores, probably more than anyone else on this site (in my defense, I have a lot more articles than everyone else on Thunderbolt). To me, it doesn't matter if a game has flaws. As long as those flaws don't detract from the total experience, I'm willing to accept that nothing will ever be perfect and I am willing to reward the few games that come around that come as close to perfection as humanly possible.''
