Grab the individual reviews from the top 10 or 15 magazines from around the globe... average them up to a 10 or 100 or whatever number you want. Provide each review in a list as an individual contributor to the total composite you are coming up with in the total. So, say for example you use 10 magazines for Halo 3 and you get a spread of 8.9 to 10. with an average of 9.3.... That's standard fare... but THEN.... Compare each magazine to the composite -- under/over percentage. I.e. IGN +10% over composite. Play Magazine -12% under composite. But wait, there's more... Also add console specifics... This is a 360 game... Keep a running log of the over/under per game and per platform and keep a running average that also appears with the review.... It would look something like this: Halo 3 (360)composite score from 10 sources (this could be less if all mags don't cover) Composite score: 93 O/U Consoles Magazine Score O/U Composite 360 PS3 Wii Mag 1 97 +5% +9% -11% -17% Mag 2 93 - -1% +7% -11% How cool would that be? This would be called, in my honor, of course, the KNRanking System, lol. Or, you could just steal the idea and I'll let you slide. |
Isn't that basically what Gamerankings does with their "Lots-of-Statistics" Site Stats?
