Lowdown Blog Video Games Ratings System

10.0 – Near perfection. On the game of the year shortlist. Must buy.
9.0-9.9 – Excellent. Definitely worth buying.
8.0-8.9 – Great. Recommended.
7.0-7.9 – Good. Minor issues that hold it back.
6.0-6.9 – Okay. Probably not worth a purchase at full price.
5.0-5.9 – Passable. Very flawed but still playable and enjoyable… barely.
3.0-4.9 – Bad. Not the worst game ever but should not be bought for/by a serious gamer.
0.0-2.9 – Terrible. Don’t buy it or accept as a gift.
