Well, I think you have to take a 7 from him to mean that it's still a decent game.
Most people just think a 7 out of 10 means it's not even worth buying, because every other reviewer out there seems to think that 8 is the minimum for a half decent game. I mean the guy gave Splinter Cell an 8.6 and all of TeamXBox was up in arms calling him biased.. but an 8.6 from Kasavin (actually, everyone at GameSpot is pretty strict) usually means it's a very good game.
Besides all that, I think he usually does a good job of justifying his score. In which case, it's just that you disagree with him. :)
And despite all that, he has written the best review online for Halo 2, and that's pretty much agreed everywhere (except perhaps TXB, but I haven't checked there..), so personal issues aside, it's worth reading.
