Reader game ratings?

Isn't it time that AG implement a reader game rating feature? Lately it seems like the scores given by the AG reviewers don't reflect well the general sentiment towards the games. The reviews will be much more useful and gain a deeper perspective if there were a reader score for the games besides the reader comments. What I have in mind is a system a la GameSpot style. Wouldn't you agree?

I'm amused at the notion that a handful of responses represents a "general sentiment", but reader ratings are definitely something we'd like to add, along with about eight thousand other upgrades. But everything takes time and there just isn't enough of it to get to them all. Takes a bit of time just to run the place, after all.

I like this idea, after the Jeff Gerstmann incident at Gamespot I usually never go by reviewer scores and just go by user ratings and reviews.
