Shadow, you forgot to mention Lucas Arts in your list of the companies that made KOTOR.

Viewtiful Joe Double Trouble
Nintendo DS
Capcom/Clover Studio
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.

Quote
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.

Either way, the 10 point scale is retarded. Long live the 5 point scale.
