What is the Best Method When Reviewing Games?
Today I decided to talk about the methods when reviewing games, mostly the scoring system in game reviews. Do they matter? Are they needed? With the writers opinions already voiced in print, is a number even worth anything?
I go through the different scoring methods and my personal views on what I think works and doesn’t, when reviewing games.
Let me know what you think below.
Is this needed?
Jamie Briggs reviews game and would love people to read review before judging the score. He also runs Analog Addiction where you can find all his latest reviews, interviews and features and also like them on Facebook. Also follow his daily life on Twitter @AnalogAddiction and his videos on YouTube.

I am a sucker for the 100pt system …dammit me.
*Shakes fist* lol
See, the reason why I steer clear of the 100 point system is that I feel I’d be slapping it with a random score. IGN gave Resident Evil 6 a 7.9 I believe and I was left wondering “what stopped it from getting that 0.01%”?
I just find it isn’t precise, feels amateurish to me.
