Gah, the goes to eleven joke was the centerpiece to my GTA editorial two years ago. I want a quarter.

I went through the 10 minute process of commenting.

Hey... I remember reading that!

@Review: "so bad that it's good" GOTY confirmed.

lol awesome

I think you should review Hour of Victory next..

I am sorry, but Deadly Premonition does not "Goes to 11".  It is a 10/10.

I will, if you don't mind a 10/10 review of a game I didn't play.  If you do want to create a review for the blog, please email it me here.  You can see the format on page 4 of the other page:

Anyhow, here is what I wrote on that page:

If you send me a review, please send me it in the following format:

Note, Review: is for game to be reviewed.  Fill in information to the right side.  Reviewer is you.  Put your name, or whatever you want to be called.  Go with a happy, shiny nickname if you don't want to use your name.  The review should be upbeat and positive, with NO flaws listed.

I would say stick to 10/10, unless the game is seen honestly as off the chart awesome, or a serious pet favorite and you can list a bunch, then you go 11/10.   Over 9000 will NEVER appear.  It shouldn't ever get one of those.  Anyhow, the reviews need to be written from the perspective of a fanboy of the game, best if you actually like a game a lot.  I will be looking to only do one review per game.  Feel free to reply to the game with your own review, with 10/10 being the lowest review.

Example review (and this is on the Blog site, based upon me doing a review of the write up on Gamestop sales site):

Review: Spongebob's Boating Bash
Genre: Racer
System: Nintendo DS (DS version reviewed)
Reviewer: Rich Hutnik

Summary:
Help Spongebob get his boating license.

Pros:
* Contains Spongebob!
* Can play as multiple characters
* Choose from a selection of boats to race.
* Play against family and friends.

Final Score:
10/10

If i ever play one of these 10/10 games ill be sure to send a review to you.

I am thinking of adding more granularity between 10 and 11, so I can have a 10.8/10, for example, so maybe it MIGHT slip into Metacritic.  I am debating that here:

I still will keep the 11, for games I really like.  There is also the Mythical Over 9000 rating for mythical games that don't exist.  I may play around with that and allow for mythical games to get a rating of 8999 or 9000 for just missing world changing awesomeness.  Think of the band from Bill and Ted's movies where it radically changed society level of awesomeness.
