Info: Review Descriptions

Here are the descriptions of each of the review categorizes given to a reviewed game. I will link to this blog post after every review to refrain from cluttering up the review itself and so you know what every score means.


Difficulty-
Easy: A game you'll beat in no time at all.
Medium: You might be stategizing a bit with this type of game.
Hard: A challenging game that certainly puts your skills to the test.
Expert: Better use all the gaming skills you have because this game will make even the most elite of gamers weep.

Learning Curve:
Pick-Up-And-Go: Literally simple enough to pick up the control and play the game to its fullest.
30 Minutes: It'll take you a bit to get used to the controls but when you do, it's smooth sailin'.
Harsh: Constantly changing controls or controls you'll have to memorize will keep you glancing down at your hands for a while.

Caliber-
0 – 10: Game Over!
A game that absolutely fails in every way imaginable. Horrible graphics, horrendous story elements, laughable sound, game-breaking glitches and bugs leave games in this category virtually unplayable. Stay far away from these abominations.

11 – 15: Bad
Basically Bad games are Game Over! games that you can actually play through without going insane although you will ask yourself why you bothered to even boot it up in the first place. You know you're playing this type of game when 10 minutes into it you'll constantly argue with yourself whether or not to shut it off and throw it out the window.

16 – 19: Weak
A potentially decent game with obvious flaws that bring it down in value. It may have some appeal but its buried under a grave of mediocrity and awful mechanics.

20 – 24:Decent
Very appealing to certain gamers but has flaws major enough to deter many others away from seeing what it has to offer. Certainly not a bad game and may excel greatly in certain areas but its appeal is sorely limited.

!25 – 29: Solid
A pretty good game with some set-backs. Although everybody may not be on board for this game, it can't be argued that it is a damn good game and can hold its own among the best.


!!30 – 32: Superb!
A game good enough to not allow the few flaws it has to distract the player and allow good times to be had by all. These games definitely should be in most gamers' libraries as they would go down in history as examples of gaming's greatest titles. If all games aimed to be in this category or higher, we'd have no excuse to leave the house.

!!!33 – 35: Amazing!!
An absolutely brilliant game with only a few minor flaws. Everything excels in a title like this and it would be to your benefit as a gamer to own these must-have games.

!!!!36: Flawless!!!
A game perfect in absolutely every way. Jaw-breaking graphics, beautiful sound, and controls that flow as if it were second nature. A flawless game only comes around once in a blue moon but when it does make sure that you own it, love it, and cherish such a masterpiece until the day you die.
