Review scoring
Posted: March 5th, 2008, 20:20
Here's an idea I've just ripped straight from RPS; rating a game on how many of the people who reviewed it would buy it. Allow me to give an example:
Myself, Chicken, Berk and Hehulk all play a new game for about a month. I kind of like it, Chicken loves it then changes his mind, Berk loves it and berates Chicken for changing his mind, and Hehulk hates it. For the sum of the review it scores out of four based on how many of us would actually pay for the game; Me and Berk would, Chicken and Hehulk wouldn't. The game scores 2 out of 4, or 50%. Obviously would only work if four or more people reviewed something, and the more people who played it the more accurate the rating would be, but I kind of like it.
RPS used Optimus Prime thumbs up or down
