Reviews

Like any video game website worth its weight in hummus, we have the opportunity to review video games. Of course, because we all have day jobs, social lives and crippling alcoholism, we don't get to review that many games. However, what games we do review are all graded with our simple five-point review scale:

1 out of 5 - Broken and/or unplayable. Completely unenjoyable from the moment it is inserted into the gaming console. Possibly drives the editor to tears.

2 out of 5 - Just plain bad. While nothing is technically broken, the game design and execution is simply awful.

3 out of 5 - Fantastically 'meh' in every way. Neither good or bad, these games simply 'are'.

4 out of 5 - Pretty-to-very good. While not "zomg" quality excellence, these games are more than adequate and even show flashes of brilliance.

5 out of 5 - There is no such thing as "perfection", but these games come pretty damn close. Ingenious design and glorious execution culminate in what can only be described as "freaking awesome".
