A word about reviews

Thought I'd share how the review scale is going to work, since rating numbers can sometimes be misleading.

The basic scale is going to be on a scale of 0-10. Seems simple, I know, but I feel the need to emphasize something about it.

Basically, this scale isn't going to work like school grading systems - a 5 out of 10 isn't a failing grade; it means the game is merely average. By that same token, 7/10 means the game is pretty good - not the best, certainly, but worth a try.

Here's the complete scale:

10 - Perfection or close to it
9 - In the top 10 of its genre (or maybe top 20 for large or glutted genres)
8 - Excellent
7 - Good
6 - Above average - fix some flaws and it'd be a hit
5 - Average. Meh.
4 - Below average
3 - Wait to buy until it hits the $5 bargain bin
2 - Did they seriously expect anyone to buy this crap?
1 - The pinnacle of suck
0 - Were they even TRYING?!
