Introduction:
Due to popular demand (Read: Mantra-Slider), I feel it's going to be a better, easier time to post all of my video game related posts into one mega thread. When I was a kid, I would usually be the guy telling everyone "Oh, check this out, Super Mario 2, it's wacky!" Going into college I was originally going to major in English and start writing freelance, but then I got into doing videos instead. But, instead of using this forum as a creative outlet at 2 in the morning and stacking up threads, I figured it was for the best to do this mega thread. You can all thank my fans (Read: Mantra-Slider) for the idea.
Rules:
Due to popular demand, the thread has been opened to comments. If you want to make your own reviews/previews/news posts, put them in here and I will add them to the list below. You must follow the guidelines for how to make the review or it will not be valid. I will also change the formatting where need be. I will remove posts that are not on topic in this thread with extreme prejudice. Spoilers for things that are not released or newly released are not welcome and will also be removed.
On this post, I'll keep a list of updates below in regards to formatting changes and the like. The following post will be a constantly updated Table of Contents so you can quick jump to any post in particular in the thread.
If you have any suggestions, ideas, submissions, PM me or hit me up in game.
---Grading Scale---
100% - Perfect Score (Platinum): The game that has no flaws and everyone, worldwide would universally like. God himself actually crafted this game and rained it upon us. Yeah, this'll probably never happen. I'm so confident in that, I colored it Magenta.
99% - 90% - Excellent (Gold): A future classic that should be played by most anyone. I give this game my unqualified seal of approval. Sure, this game isn't perfect, no game is perfect, but it's damn close. Either that, or there's so much good you won't even notice the bad.
89% - 80% - Great (Silver): A great game, you can't go wrong with. It may not be the best that genre has to offer, but it's still a solid title nonetheless. Worth a rental, at least. Not without it's minor flaws that keep it from the mountain top, though.
79% - 70% - Good (Bronze): I won't lie, I've had fun with some C-Rate games in my time, but then again, I might have also been in the minority when it came to them. You'll find better games, sure, but there are still pieces of this game that you'd enjoy. Most likely a niche title/genre or a great idea not completely realized.
69% - 60% - Passing (Aluminum): This game passed with a D. It has some redeeming qualities that keep it from flunking out, but it's probably not going to be worth your time or money. If you're bored, rent it, you could be one of the few who liked it .... who didn't make it themselves.
59% - 30% - Failed (Coal): From here on down, you won't find much good to look at, beyond a laugh. But, hey, at least it's sort of playable, right? There are a ton more, better games out there than this. I suppose it could have a good concept, just poorly executed. Let's hope for better luck next time.
29% - 0% - Shameful (Crap): What were they thinking? You mean, someone got paid to do this ... then they convinced someone to sell this ... and now you want me to pay for the pile of garbage you stuffed into that poor DVD case? Buyer beware!
