PS2 Micro Reviews

Following the path to least resistance, gamers are usually only interested in the final score. While the fleshing out of a game, especially when a title receives a questionable score, usually gets looked at after the reader has scanned the article for the rating, most people just give a damn about where a game places in the final score.

So, in the attempt to fulfill that desire, I have created the Micro Review. At a glance, you can see where any game in the library has placed, or if I’ve even gotten to it at all. The list is NOT a complete library of games available for the system, just which titles I currently have. Games will be broken down into 5 different colors, each one giving a generic rating from Outstanding to Poor with games not yet experienced left gray. The ratings are as follows: Outstanding, Good, Average, Below Average, and Poor. Last updated Oct. 17th, 2012
