[quote name="so I'll just put this here."]Grading Methods <b>Objective</b> Does it boot up? How many times can you expect it to crash in a twelve-hour period?

Anyone who thinks the average game deserves at least a 7 should go ahead and hang themselves with their own belt. <b>On a curve</b> Comparing one game to another, so as to suggest which games I should play if for some reason I can't or don't want to play them all. <i>Enslaved: Odyssey to the West</i> might be a "good" game, but is it better or worse than <i>Castlevania: Lords of Shadow</i>? Let's ask someone who should know.[/quote]
