Inquisitor94's new proposed game reviewing system.

[Inquisitor94]

Here's how it would work:

- Buy it:

This would be reserved for must-own games which everybody should have. i.e Grand Theft Auto 4, the Orange Box, and Bioshock.

- Get it in the Bargin Bin:

This would be used for those games which are good, but flawed, or devoted to a certain genre or niche crowd in such in such a way that they do not warrent a full purchase, at least not until the price drops to a more reasonable level (in the case of the genre/niche crowd reasoning, they should buy it without having to wait for it to drop). i.e. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas, Burnout Paradise, and Project Gotham Racing III

- Rent it:

This should be used for games which are not great games that warrent purchase, but good games that at least are worth a rental, or perhaps a borrowing from a fried. i.e. Lost Odyssey, Stranglehold, and Lost Planet: Extreme Condition

- Ignore it:

For games that do not warrent a playthrough. i.e. Shadowrun, Blazing Angels of WWII, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

- Destroy it:

These are games which are so bad they should be destroyed on sight. i.e Dynasty Heroes: Gundam, Two Worlds, and Shrek the Third

I'll be using this system in any future game reviews, and anyone else who wants to use it is welcomed.

Would we have to credit you if we did?

Also, let me direct your attention to this:

- Use whatever scoring categories you like.
- However, if you use our reviewing metric (no scores, just a recommendation of Buy it/Rent it/Don't touch it at the end), there's a chance we'll feature your review on the front page.

From the sticky in the user review section.

What he's referring to is the fact that this thread will get locked before too long.

EDIT: Apologies for the double post.

Oh. Fudges.

Well, I guess that I will be banned before too long now.

Probably not, keep your chin up little soldier!

Naaah, you'll be fine. Worst you'll get is a slap on the hand or a petrol bomb down your chimney- probably the former. They're quite gentle around here.

It's a fine system, and you can mark however pleases you. But the Escapist's is a solid one: three categories is all you really need to get the job done. Quite elegant, really.

My interest it piqued to see your reviews, though!
