--------------------------------------------
My Reviewing process is somewhat different from other blogs/websites. I typically won't run-down a long list of things everyone expects in any decent video game these days; therefore, anything I don't comment on you can assume is either not particularly noteworthy or is a given (ex. whether the controls are good, etc.).
Each review will be separated into 5 categories:
Presentation
- Story, art, ease of use.
Graphics
- Self-explanatory. Also, any weird bugs related to such.
Sound
- Music, sound effects, etc.
Gameplay
- Controls, difficulty, "fun factor", etc.
Etc.
- Anything else I can think of (ex. replayability).
I have also decided on utilizing a combination of Ratings: a numerical one alongside a Buy/Rent/Forget qualifier. The most important of the two is the B/R/F: I don't care how amazing a 4-hour retail game that costs $60 is, if it's over before I get my money's worth, it's a Rent at best. The numerical value will be out of 100, to better specify where in the B/R/F range it is (ex. a "Buy" game with a low Buy score of 80, indicating it is worth picking up, but perhaps not right away).
B/R/F scale:
0 - 60: Forget
61 - 79: Rent
80 - 100: Buy
As well, yes I am aware of game rental stores shutting down en masse. Replace "Rent" with "Borrow From A Friend", "Get Used", etc. if necessary.
