Due to the advancements and multi dimensional elements involved in video games, we have decided to switch to a scale out of 10 on our video game scores. We feel that a wider scale would allow us to better help you, our readers, to distinguish between the games.

To further aid our readers to understand our scores, we have updated the following guidelines.

• A score from 1 to 3 are for games that are full of glitches or hardly playable that make it very frustrating to play. In addition this would also include titles that lack any "fun" factor and make us wonder if they should be called a video "game"
• A score from 4 to 5 are for games that have a few good elements but are unfortunately overshadowed by many poor elements. This could also include games that are not inspiring and give a rather mundane experience. Any hardcore fans of the genre should definitely try the demo or consider renting before deciding to buy the game.
• A score from 6 to 7  are for games that are good and have some exciting elements but there are other factors that are flawed or not well done. These games could also be repetitive or those that provide a "been there, done that" type of experience. We would recommend that these games been rented to wait for them to hit the bargain bins. 
• A score from 8 to 9 are for games that are great but have some minor issues that hamper the overall experience. These could also include games that do not feel entirely polished or those that fail to provide move the genre forward. 
• A score of 10 is reserved for games that are truly epic. This could include games that truly revolutionize the genre and are very polished. These are the type of games that would be enjoyed by people that are not fans of the genre of the game.
