Back in late October, we announced that we were going to be changing our video game review guide. Instead of using a 10-point scale, we would be using a non-numerical recommendation system of “Buy, Try, or Forget.” While we think this system has worked out fairly well for the brief time we've used it, I am today announcing that we are once again changing our review guide to one that is a little more practical, but isn't as complex and confusing as a 10-point system can be for the readers.
