Reviewing System
My reviews will be based on an intuitive smiley system.
An absolutely wonderful game that you MUST invest in gets an Extremely Happy rating. These are games that I absolutely adored and you probably will, too. Either that, they’re veritable time wasters that have an extra quality of charm added to them that is simply unresistable.
The Happy Rating games are wonderful and worth the time needed to play them. Of course, there are slight problems with them that keep them from being extremely wonderful. For example, it could be something that’s absolutely addicting for about a day, and then it gets shelved after that.
The Neutral games have some flaw in them that makes them appeal only to a certain audience. They are the games that get a resounded “meh” when I evaluate them. Good for, maybe, an hour or so, but the novelty wears off and I’m off to something new.
Games that earn a Sad Rating have some major flaw in them. They’re games that I would love to love, but they fall short of expectations for one reason or another. Therefore, you shed a little tear for them. Then move on to next game that is not quite as tear-inducing.
The Angry Rating is reserved especially for those games that are so bad they shouldn’t exist. These are the rare few games that actually anger a player, not because it’s frustrating due to difficult but interesting levels (a good type of gamer anger), but the kind of anger that actually motivates someone to attempt to destroy their computer by chucking it through a window.
