It has been brought to my attention that when we review games here at Scissors 61, we don't have a scale to compare games. Your prayers have now been answered thanks to the one and only Brian "The Ocho" John Mihaich.
The crying Brian goes to the games that are just plain broken, are not worth the space that they take up on a shelf, or remind you of the pain you felt when that girl got away so many years ago during your trip to Boise. Example: 90% of the Wii library.
Anger is often caused by disappointment. Think middle-aged dad with a good buzz going at a little league game when his son strikes out for the final out and the kid doesn't realize the game is over, that kind of anger. Example: Devil May Cry 2.
The middle of the gaming road, games that don't really do anything to stand out. This equates to that guy in accounts receivable that wears the same five shirts every week. Example: Recent Japanese RPGs and WWII shooters.
Games that remind you why you like video games in the first place, just plain fun and well worth the time you put into them. The thumps up is the most familiar symbol for excellence in media today. Example: Halos, Burnouts, Puzzle Quest.
It's sexual. This rating is for games that take the gaming experience to another level. Appreciate these games for all they are worth, show your love. Example: The Orange Box, Call Of Duty 4, Metal Gear.
