That's an average so far of an 8.4/10. (cross platform)

Does that mean if a game scores an average of less than 9/10 it's mediocre these days?
IGN and Eurogamer are quite reliable and they gave it 7/7.5 which is mediocre compared to what I was hoping it would be and what I imagine Mass Effect is going to get and what COD4 has been getting (the only thing stopping me from buying this is that I already have 2 shooters to play through and don't want another just now). Eurogamer said it's still a good game but not as good as Crackdown which it has a lot in common with and is let down by repetitive and limited gameplay (I'm paraphrasing).
