Ratings, How Do They Work?

Instead of reviewing another game, I thought of talking about my rating system this time.  Thinking back to when I started this, I had wanted to do a rating system that was unique, but simple.  "Well," I thought, "maybe I'll use stars.  It is called Green Star Gaming after all."  Well, maybe it wasn't such a great idea.  While I am posting a actual rating along side the star rating, I am thinking that people are still getting confused with it.  So here we go.

First we have the Grand Green Star.

It represents a 5 out of 5, and that means it's pretty much the pinnacle of what a game should be, in my own opinion of course.









Second we have the Green Star.

It represents a 4 out of 5, and that means it's a really good game and I recommend it.

Third we have the Yellow Star.

It represents a 3 out of 5, and that means that there isn't anything really good or really bad about the game, it's just kind of in the middle of the road.

Now we get to the disappointing stuff.

Fourth, the Red Star.

It represents a 2 out of 5, that means there's little to nothing that is good about the game and I wouldn't recommend it.

Fifth and final is the Grand Red Star.

It represents a 1 out of 5, that means it's at the bottom of the barrel, nothing good whatsoever, stay away from it.

Now that I have clarified what my ratings are, there is one last Star that I should mention, the Silver Star.

The Silver Star basically states that my thoughts on the game are not finalized or my personal opinion doesn't really count towards much.  I may go back and re-review it at some point.

I feel as if I have now clarified and justified my rating system and it should be more clear now of what they mean.  I do hope that I don't come across a game that gets a Grand Red Star or the Silver Star.

On another note, whenever I can I will try to get a video of the game of which I am reviewing.  Otherwise, the blog would be more boring than usual, and I don't want that!  On Friday I will be doing something that I've been thinking about doing.  I'm calling it Double Feature Friday, basically what it is is that when a review is supposed to come out on a Friday, I will review two games instead of one.  If I can, I will try to make the two games be related, either from the same series or something that ties them together.  So expect something fun!
