If we went around buying games without a system, we would be broke and surrounded by very average games. What is your system for determining whether or not a game is worth buying?
My minimum buying threshold is 7.5 (If nothing else is coming out at the time and I have plenty of money) although I usually require at least an 8.
Step one: Get the review from Gametrailers and the review from the Escapist (The actual reviews, not zero punctuation)
Step 2: Average the two scores. (You need to pay close attention to figure out what score on a 10 point scale the Escapist is hinting at despite not providing)
Step 3: Based on the genre add or remove the appropriate number of points (If it goes over 10 it is still a ten but it is important to keep track of the number for step 4.)
Step 4: Based on the developer (Not publisher. EA and Activision are publishers, don't start making jokes aboot them) add or remove the appropriate number of points. (Scores above ten will be treated as ten. Scores below one will be treated as one.)
Step 5: If the game is a sequel average the score with the game that came before it.
And there you have it kids! The actual quality of a game.
