New Reviews Policy!

I have switched to the number out of ten scoring system. I've decided to because:

One: I now prefer the number out of ten scoring system.

Two: I was annoyed with my Batman review ending in 5 stars. Five stars sounds like 10/10, and that game is too cliche-ridden to deserve that game that score. So there! Now we've got a numbers system. That game's a 9/10.

"What does this mean to the ratings criteria?"

Nothing! Sort of. Well, okay. Here is what the ratings'll mean: 10/10 means that the game's one of the very best things ever made and that everyone who has any interest in computer games should try it. 9/10 means that it's one of the best games ever made, but has something, or somethings, preventing it from being palatable to every gamer. 8 out of 10 means it's really good. It may not be one of the best games ever, but you'll almost certainly like it. 7 out of 10 means it can provide a pretty good experience but has some serious problems. 6 out of 10 means it's good (barely). 5/10 would make the game so-so, or "almost certainly a waste of your time." 4/10 equals bad (do not get). 3/10 equals very bad. 2/10 equals terrible. 1/10 is one of the worst games ever made. 0/10 is so unfathomably bad that, in theory, it cannot exist.
