I've been upset with EGM/1UP for a while in regards to their Wii reviews. Other than some of the biggest and best games, they seem to really dislike Wii games. I think these are two perfect examples. I still think their magazine is one of the best but I have virtually no respect for the reviews and their feelings on video gaming.
I also don't like the idea of using a grade score as in A,B,C,D,F. This isn't school, games shouldn't be reviewed as school homework. For an industry and a magazine trying to reach out to adults, it seems silly to use elementary school scores. I think 1-10 is the best way to review a game other than written word. I wish they would go back to using their old version of reviewing games. |
uhm... And the rest of the world usually goes for 1-10 and 1-100 scores in school. Does that mean that game scores are a reflection of school for us?
They never should've used those stupid A - F scores anyway (in school either).
In any case, it does seem to be a metacritic problem, but it doesn't look like they're going to adapt anytime soon.

What makes you think more of a school grade, an A+ or 100? That wasn't even the main point I was trying to make in my post anyway. I just don't think a letter score is specific enough and is too open to interpretation. I feel that a number is more exact in telling how someone felt for a game. |
The numbers are open to interpretation as well. They told people over and over that a 5 was average, but people don't listen. They think 7 is average. Why? Because of school. Numbers or letters, it's the same thing.
