I second Cataract on that. Google Docs = GOTY
Hey awesome, I loved hearing the conversation about the review method :)
To clarify though, I do care about graphics and sound and gameplay, but the point of my system is that it's less about "whether the graphics are good" and more about "how do the graphics make the game good?"
If a game has shitty graphics, and the game suffers for it, then perhaps ADD would suffer (because it's less constantly enthralling) or escapism (because it's harder to get lost in its world). If a game has amazing graphics, likewise, it might contribute heavily to those categories, or it might not matter a damn.
And for the record, N+ would score pretty well in OCD because its gameplay is so precise that you, if you give it a chance, becomes incredibly rewarding, skill-wise. Something with a bad OCD score would jsut be something that's not very technically enthralling; a lot of jRPGs are liek tihs for me because their combat systems are same-y and boring and take up altogether too much time.
oh, and histrionics would almost definitely rank Guitar Hero 3 low, because, exactly, who cares? Although, Gear of War 2 would be pretty high because the ultimate question is, "should you play this game?" and people should play Gears of War 2 for no reason other thna that a lot of people talk about it and you'll be left out of those conversations otherwise! (hence why it's contreversial).
I wrote a "defense" of histrionics here:

Thanks for listening and getting back to us, Brilliam! I'd love to have more of these conversations going on after a show goes up, since we sometimes are a little off from the exact point a blogger is trying to make.
