About Reviews

[Marinka]

This is a place I was asked to set up a forum for reviews of Games, Movies, etc. If there needs to be sub-catagories, so be it.

Enjoy =)

Meow! =D

My very own reviews section... Thanks!

Okay, I'll write reviews of games and fun things. I don't think anyone will read any of this, but just in case, here it is!


Several categories will be listed, scaled zero through ten, and an overall score.

Graphics, Sound, Gameplay, Fun, Presentation, and Technology.

Graphics covers how it looks, of course. =) Eye candy and the like, or lack there of. Sometimes graphics are sacrificed for fun... it all depends.

Sound covers the things you hear. how good it all is. =)

Gameplay is for how easy the game is to play, or how nasty it is. Lower ratings for difficult and/or pointless controls... A pointless control, for instance, Ctrl-Shift-Z for 3 seconds, then Alt-Shift Up, let go of shift, down, hit ctrl, right, to fire your normal weapon would be pointless!

Fun, is a rating for how fun I thought it is.

Presentation is how well it all fits together... Related to fun, but just is a general appeal. This rating also covers the story, if any.

Technology is how well the game is put together. This often doesn't apply to console games unless it uses a special controller.. If the game has a lot of bugs or quirks that aren't quite right, they'll show up in this rating.

Well, that's all i have to say about my supposed rating system, hope I keep interest in this =)
