People who give out perfect scores just because they happened to like something makes it look like they're incredibly biased, are just ignoring problems with the game despite the fact they exist, or have incredibly low standards to the point they'd play just about anything, or some or all of the above.
Or it could just mean that how good a game is is subjective... which it is. True, some flaws are objective (a game-breaking bug or obvious graphic glitch), but if people don't acknowledge them then that just means that, for them, the rest of the game is good enough to ignore them. People don't just ignore flaws for no reason.
And yes, when people are giving their opinion on a game there is obviously bias. Why is that a bad thing?
The problem with scores (in my opinion) is that you need to rate the game in an objective manner to actually rate them like that. Or at least, in a very strict manner that makes the aspects measurable. That's just not how I, and a lot of people, rate games.
