Reviews: UFG’s constructive evaluations to help our readers make informed decisions before running out to purchase the latest “greatest” game and gaming products. Besides providing essential information about plot, game play and other main aspects of a game, we also give an overall score based on five categories. Here is a brief guide to help you better understand the scoring.
Gameplay- Focuses on camera issues, controls, storyline, etc.
Graphics- The visual aspects of the game and how they enhance or hurt the game overall.
Sound- Soundtrack, sound effects, voice acting, and all audio components are commented on.
What’s New- What’s unique about this game compared to others in its genre, giving credit to imaginative developers who really try to push past the status quo.
Replay value- Pretty straight forward, how often does the title lend itself to replay either though multiple gaming modes, online play, or its pure unadulterated awesomeness!
All five categories are equally important and are averaged to produce a final score. We do realize that the final score will often be lower than one would expect do to the “What’s new" factor (many games today are sequels...so nothing new). Therefore the final scores can be interpreted as: Poor (1-4), Decent (5-6), Good (7-8), Mind-blowingly Awesome! ( 9-10).
We’ll also be reviewing gaming hardware. We won’t have a score at the end like the video game reviews. Instead we’ll have whether or not we recommend the product. They're either Highly Recommended, Recommended, or Not Recommended. Pretty self-explanatory!
