First of all, here's a brief explanation of what the final score really means at the end of each review.

100%	The Programmer is a God	Impossible to attain.
99 - 90%	Excellent	Awe inspiring and enjoyable to the highest degree.
89 - 80%	Very Good	Falls just short of excellence, but still great.
79 - 70%	Good	Just a good game, not quite great.
69 - 60%	Above Average	These come in just over the boring games.
59 - 50%	Average	Dull. Tiresome. Play it if you want to sleep.
49 - 40%	Dumb	If you play for an hour, you're insane
39 - 30%	Dumber	If you play for more than half an hour, you're braindead.
29 - 20%	Painful	If you play for more than five minutes, you're a masochist.
19 - 10%	Embarrassing	You should feel personally offended that this game was made.
9 - 1%	Tragically flawed	Overexposure may lead to brain damage.
0%	The programmer is dead.	It was for the best.

All present ratings (except overall ratings) stand, with a few exceptions. All overall ratings will be averaged.


Categories will be weighted as follows:

Graphics - Weighted by 4	(All percentages multiplied by
Sound - Weighted by 3	"weight" then divided by 20)
Innovation - Weighted by 3
Gameplay - Weighted by 8
Replay Value - Weighted by 2

Also, sometimes when I look at the final score I decide that maybe it doesn't really say what I want it to say, so I allow myself some leeway for up to 2 points. Also, I don't make all the reviews, sometimes my friend Wayne (who has just as much, if not more game experience as I do) do some of the reviews, and I will start writing the name of the person who really did the review after the review. I still do all the web stuff, though.
