it's kinda the perfect place to discuss.

reviews could be funny. imagine side bets to force people through crappy games.

I'd contribute reviews as well but be aware I tend to be easily satisfied by games

I will undertake the terrible task of reviewing Nintendo games.  Note that I don't own any nintendo consoles or handhelds, but that's ok.

Rename FoCReturns to FoC.  Easier that way, isn't it?

Also, welcome back FoC.  Still playing Magic any?

Yeah, neither is anyone else.  Myself included.

What about a scale that goes from 9 to 10?

Nah, I sold it along with my XBOX. I had a ton of legacy stuff got about $3K for it all. I live right across the street from a magic shop though and I go and hang out with some friends from time to time. I really like the new set.

I like the notion of giving specialized scores for each game, such as "this pathetic offering scores -4 shriveled Shiggy testicles out of 5" or the like.

Nonsensical scores would force people to actually read the review

Nonsensical scores would force people to actually read the review

But metacritic would still add it into the overall average as a standard score.  :-\

I like the idea of reviewing games that have a meaningless score for exactly the reason stated - you'd be forced to read it.

Instead of a numerical score, we should use symbols that can't be quantitative in any way. Bad games could get a score of moldy peach, expired coupon, crying baby in a movie theater, etc.

Do away with numbers and just put games into 3 categories: Ignore, Rent, and Buy.

If we get to give each game an arbitrary utterly meaningless nonsensical score I'd write some reviews. 8)
