My Reviewing System

Here is how I will rate the games. I will give 2 or 3 paragraphs telling you all about the game, the graphics, play mechanics, things that stuck out in my mind, things like that. Then I will give each major aspect a score on a scale of 1 to 10.

  • Graphics
  • Sound
  • Innovation
  • Gameplay
  • Replay Value

    Accompanying that score will be an upside () and a downside () to each aspect. On rare occasions when I can't find a single thing wrong with a certain aspect, I'll give it 2 "ups" and likewise if I can't find a single good thing, I may give it 2 "downs".

    After that I give you the final verdict, and a numerical score on a scale of 1 to 100, with 60 being about average. Here is how each score should be interpreted:
    90-99 - Awesome! Simply the best. One of my favorites
    80-89 - Very good game
    75-79 - Pretty good game
    60-74 - Good game, kinda sucks though
    50-60 - You may like it, I certainly don't though
    30-49 - Man this is a bunch of shit
    10-29 - A waste of plastic
    1-9 - Chinese torture device

    Remember that it's only my opinion, so I may hate a game you like or give a game you hate a high score.
