Back to the review scoring system
So it seems a bit of you are totally with the "no scores, let them read" scheme (if your confused, read the blog below). Others highly disagree with this method, stating that it does indeed help (esp. if you really have no interest in the game).
So, perhaps we can adjust the voting scheme to fall a bit into the compromise arena. So rather then having something like:
Graphics: 5/10
Sound: 4/10
Game Play: 10/10
Replay Value: 8/10
To something like a few people suggested (including people not commenting in the last blog), a one line score. I was thinking, much like the game reviews in Playboy Magazine, where they just use little bunnies to represent how good the game is... except we could use controllers or something. So 1 controller would mean stay away, 3 would mean good rental, and 5 would mean BUY NOW.
Yeah? That way, if you want the details you read the article which typically covers game play, fun, graphics, etc. If you just wanna glance down because you trust the authors opinion and he gives it 3 controllers then you know its only a "so so" game.
Any thoughts?
