About our Ratings System

Games Xtreme employs a simple method of scoring games based on a numerical scale, which ranges from 1.0 to 10 in 0.1 increments.

We do not score each part of a game such as the graphics and gameplay, the score reflects the reviewers enjoyment of the game as a whole, including all elements of the game such as sound, gameplay, graphics, multiplayer, etc. This means that a game does not have to look like a supermodel to score highly if it is a really enjoyable game to play.

10.0: Perfect

This game rules, nothing else beats this game and everyone should just give up now! - Not many games get this score and those that do should feel privileged.

Par Excellence, this game deserves to be in anyones collection and you need to play this at least once in your lifetime. A game that screams out quality and knows it!

Most games seem to fall into this category... Most people will love it, a few wont, but you should give it a go.

7.0 - 7.9: Good

6.0 - 6.9: Above Average

Most of the games that fall into this category do have some playability... you just cant find it.

4.0 - 4.9: Below Average

A game that just didnt get the attention it deserved. Probably with more time it could be made better but someone decided they didnt want to spend it.

3.0 - 3.9: Poor

The begining of a slippery slidey scale downwards.. games here just didnt have enough time spent on them and are just not fun.

2.0 - 2.9: Bad

A game so bad we just had to tag it. Probably worthy of a play to see how things can go wrong but not much else.

1.0 - 1.9: Mediocre

Whoever decided this game should be released was having a laugh. The game does not deserve the space we give it except to say "Avoid at all costs". Not many games get this, thank god!
