7/10
Review: A fairly good beat 'em up for the DS. Graphics are all sharp and up to par with its previous console brothers. It also does a good job of incorporating the touch screen into the over all game play. Only problem is to really use these skills to their best you need to either be able to use the stylus with your mouth or have a third hand. Other wise you have to stop all your punching, kicking, and jumping in the middle of a battle which is sometimes a problem. Other than this it's a good game.

Battle Hunter
Playstation
Agetec Studios
Triple Pentacusp
Wha-ho! Definitely one of the earlier Playstation games. Meaning the translation sucks. But anyways, it's a good game, probably one of the first tactical RPG-esque video games. Its story was pretty well-involved, but it presented a challenge to beginners, as it had no tutorial or instructions of any kind and was difficult even with familiarity. So, I'd say it's worth playing, but it's definitely not a classic. Agetec went on to make those Armored Core games and the PoPoLoCrois game for the PSP, among others.
Shadow of the Colossus
Playstation 2
Sony Computer Entertainment
FOUR STALLS
One of the most creative games ever, makes for an enjoyable gameplaying experience. Your opponents outclass you in every department except intelligence, which aids you in your struggle to defeat them. The viewpoints and artistic design in the game provide for a detailed visual display. The game's mechanics are quite realistic, it presents a good story, and overall, this game is a great piece of work.

Hi there, this is Vito. I'm here to try and make things a little better.
First off, the best scale to rate video games ever is the X-play 5 star point scale.
Five stars: Our highest recommendation
Five-star games are a rarity. This is a landmark title that every gamer should consider owning. Even gamers who aren't fans of the genre will enjoy playing this game. It may have some slight flaws, but the ambition of the title and what the developer was able to successfully pull off more than make up for any shortcomings. If games are indeed art, these are masterpieces.
Four stars: Great
A fine example of gaming. Fun to play through and through. Easily one of the best examples of the genre. Very little is wrong with this title, but gamers who don't like the game's genre won't enjoy this game. Or, the game has all the trappings of a five-star title but suffers from one or two serious design flaws that affect gameplay.
Three stars: Average
These are fun-to-play, pretty solid titles with a few minor flaws. This is not a poor rating. Most games will fall into this category. There's just little to differentiate this title from the rest of the pack. The game lacks technical or design polish but is still enjoyable. It'll certainly appeal to fans of the genre.
Two stars: Fair
Not too much here to recommend. There's some fun to be had with this title, but we're seen its likes a million times before. There are technical or design flaws that significantly hamper gameplay. It may be worth a rental, but only die-hard fans of the genre should consider purchasing it.
One star: Poor
We cannot recommend this title under any circumstances. Be it shoddy design or game-stopping bugs, there are just too many things wrong with this game for gamers to bother playing it.
Also you may want to give a little summary on the game like it's story, gameplay, and such. Also end up with pros and cons on the game.

thats what i meant in the first post, where i said review
-
Either way, the 10 point scale is retarded. Long live the 5 point scale.
-
I have to disagree Vito. Ten Point scale is vastly better. You get a better feeling of where a game falls in terms of things. With a five point scale you have to many games falling into the same score range. Then it depends on how much the actual review tells you as to figuring out which game is worth your time and money. And with the five point system I think back to Nintendo Power's wishy-washy five point reviews that never told you what you should buy.
-
Well Nintnedo Power was never a really great review magazine in my opinion. Thats why I love X-play with reviews that are usually spot on.
-
Nintendo Power actually used the 10 point system for a while. But they could never give a game a 10 because there was no game that was perfect in all aspects, which them look worse because a 10/10 looks a hell of a lot better than a 9.5/10.
-
If you ask me, scoring systems are pretty much a nothing in the current situation. It's true that people investigating the quality of a game will often just skip the actual review and use the score to determine whether or not they want to buy it. If we were actually going to make a website which catered to potential gamebuyers, then by all means, let's continue arguing. It's clear that we're not going make such a website anytime soon, so the type of scoring has little to no value.

And then they did me in with shivs.

I think 5-point scales work fine depending on where they're being used. Like for X-Play, they get the point across just fine, having gone into a detailed explanation of what they think a game should get, and then they stamp the score on it at the end for good measure. I don't really even pay much attention to their scores, aside from the comedy value when a game gets a really low one. I'm more interested in the actual opinions, since just five points can't really portray how good a game is. I mean there's lots of games I'd give 4 out of 5 stars, since they're above mediocre but below awesome. So like I said, it's the explanation of that score which makes the difference. As for a website such as Gamespot, I think the 10-point scale works much better, because I can look up a game and at first glance see a more accurate rating of how good a game might be without reading the review itself. Because this is the internet, and I don't know how to read.
I SAY WE USED THE ONE HUNDRED POINT SCALE FROM NOW ON.
-
with 2 decimal places!

I give this scoring system a 092.23 out of 100.00 points.
