So if it's fine to deduct points for a game being higher priced, then it should be okay to deduct points from games that say are pretty short or shorter than normal console games...this would account for games on the DS and PSP then.

I feel it's ridiculous to deduct points based on it costing more than a "decided" high point.

It's different if they rate all games based on value for money i.e. if it's got a budget price, but is good value for money, then great....give them an extra point, and if a full price game seems not to be value for money, then deduct a point.

What about this an example......a game looks great, plays great and sounds great and is very enjoyable, but is quite short, then should this game be reduced a point because of this?



The funny part is you are making the exact OPPOSITE point you want to.  you treat DS and PSP games differently then console games just how you would treat regular priced games different from budget games, budget games different from half priced games, and half priced games from cheapo Xbox arcade games.

 They do rank all games based on value for money.  That's exactlly what 1-up is saying in that article.  Since they can't do that since there is no price released they are forced to guess a price.  Which they guessed $30.  If it costs more or less then that the ranking needs to be changed.
