Here's an idea that I guarantee no-one else is doing and would draw traffic here in a heartbeat... copyrightable even...
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? |
Maybe that's a feature I can't find on the website, but I'm not seeing a deviation from the average nor am I seeing a "bias tendency" or whatever you would like to call it.... |
Maybe i'm not understanding what you mean right. Here go to "Gamerankings.com"
Then click, on the left side in the blue menu under "Statistics" "Lots-A-Stats"
Then go to "Site Stats"
Then click on say. Play Magazine. (Or rather i'll just post a link to that, though that's how you get there.)
http://www.gamerankings.com/itemrankings/sitedetails.asp?siteid=736
Here you see Play Magazine tends to average all games 4.9% higher then the combined review averages on Gamerankings.
Now if you Click PS3
http://www.gamerankings.com/itemrankings/SiteDetails.asp?platformid=1028
You can see the average PS3 game is ranked 6.4% higher in Play Magazine then the other sites used in gamerankings.
