review scores


Letter grades are in effect. Giving scores or "stars" to games doesn't tell the whole story and can be misleading. Gamedae believes readers can get more out of the notes of a game then just it's rating. You may be familiar with how it works but just incase you missed high school: A (highest grade, excellent), B (above average), C (average), D (usually the minimum passing grade), and F (fail).

That said, there may be plus or minus as well. Hopefully you will find the reviews on this site a little more like talking to a friend than the official word from another site. Maybe we will be able to think about an aspect of a game you hadn't considered. Or maybe you just disagree with everything which is welcomed.

mission statement
















A weekly report of a new video game or retro classic from this gamer's prospective. I will be reporting on games while I’m playing them, some after I have finished them, others that I will never finish. My only credentials are a love for the medium. Honest reviews you can relate to from another gamer on the front lines with my fellow consumers.

Games featured will only be games I have personally spent time with. I'll try to post the percentage of the game I'm through as well as the hours played. For the near future this will be limited to the consoles systems that I own. No intentional neglect to the other systems is intended and I welcome insight from players of all systems. Reviews will be done by myself and on occasion by guest reviewers of my choosing.

If any of these reviews help you find a new game or dust off an old classic: mission accomplished.
