The Score Whore Ultimate Review: Review Text vs Review Score
hpv | 1:42 AM on 02.14.2009 5 comments




There has been a lot of talk on the Internets lately about the value of review scores. Hopefully this post will put that argument to rest. I present to you, The Score Whore Ultimate Review: Review Text vs Review Score.

Review Text
Graphics: 0
Sound: 0
Gameplay: 0
Fun: 0
Overall: 0*

Review Score
Graphics: 11
Sound: 11
Gameplay: 11
Fun: 11
Overall: 11*

* Scoring is on a scale of 0 to 11, because some games are Eternity's Child and some games are Super Mario World, respectively.

Wow, subtle...

that's not sarcasm, I genuinely don't understand what you mean there.

Allow me to translate. And fail at it, but hey.

I believe our dear hpv is making a comment about how the score of the review is what counts most in the eyes of the public, and the review text is generally ignored, unneeded, and useless. Hence the 0/11 score for each. And honestly, I'm of the same comment--people put so much into review scores that they don't read the review at all. People actually buy games that score above a certain threshold without doing any research on the game at all. Or reading the review text, but hey.

Score: 10/10
