At MediaKick, we release reviews as soon as we can once they are up to the standards we set. We do not however use the traditional and widely used 1-10 scale. Instead we opt for a graded scale to attempt to avoid the overuse of the top end of the scale. By stating a ‘C’ rated game as average, it is in keeping with the same standards that everyone follows whilst in education. It therefore also means that the top mark of ‘A+’ is not equal to a ‘perfect’ game – just one that came very close.

The platform that the game is reviewed on is always stated, as on occasions multi-platform titles will perform better on one than the other.

Each score is equatable to a pre-defined meaning, which the list below will indicate:

• A+ = Unmissable
• A = Exceptional
• A- = Excellent
• B+ = Very Good
• B = Good
• B- = Quite Good
• C+ = Just above average
• C = Average
• C- = Just below average
• D+ = Poor
• D = Bad
• D- = Very Bad
• E = Abysmal
• F = Unplayable
