FYI: How I Score Video Games

As a video game reviewer, I do have an admittedly strange way of scoring the games I have reviewed. For instance, I take one rather unusual thing into account -- the purchase price of said game when I bought it, not its actual release price. So if I pay 10 bucks for "Rogue Warrior," an admittedly so-bad-it's-almost-good game, I'm much more likely to enjoy it than I would have had I paid full retail, thus allowing me to give it a score of 5 out of 10, which it otherwise wouldn't warrant. The same goes for games like "Bioshock 2" that I forked over sixty bones for -- I rate it according to my degree of personal disappointment vs. cost. It doesn't mean, if I give it a 6 out of 10, that I think it's just one number higher than "Rogue Warrior," for example. Hopefully this should shed some light on how my stupid brain works...
