I like the silly Throne of Darkness review.

It seems to be a uniformly bad game, but then it gets 51%? So it’s average. Right.
Hm.
How does that work, because my head hurts bad.

Oh man, I don’t want the percentage debate again. Only did this yesterday.
Imagine it like this: half of everything it does is wrong. One out of every two things it does fails.
Generally, people are able to construct a game – so much of that is crucial in rating it. But if there’s no spirit, no joy, nothing original, or if it’s done lazily, then it cannot move further forward.
And be honest, if you saw a game score 47%, would you think, “hmmmm, this game is probably just about average”, or would you think, “this game is going to be rubbish”? There’s a semiotic language to percentage scores, that may not match up to true mathematics.

Weasel words of cowardly treachery. Wash your mind out with bleach.

Enough with the “Man, ” prefix. Pretend you’re a German and begin every sentence with an “Also, ” instead.
