Get your Pitchforks Ready for the September OXM Reviews

Would you guys like it to be within the forums? or a seperate section of the site?

Either way would be cool... the important thing is if I want to know the Xblarcade.com user rating of a particular game, I can find it quickly and easily.

It could be a simple system showing the percentage of thumbs up on a game, or a more complex one where each game gets it's own comments (read: user reviews) thread.

I think this is a really cool idea but now I'm wondering how simple or how complicated it would be. Here's what I'd love (aka the super complicated version):

Retro Games:

1: Have you played one of the game's previous versions? Yes/No

-If yes, your opinion of the previous? Thumbs up/down.

-If no, skip to #2.

2: Do you own the full game? Yes/No (to weed out issues/disappointments with the demo)

-If yes does the demo give a thorough impression of the game (i.e. if you like the demo, you'll like the game or vice versa)? Yes/No

-If no, skip to #3

3: Your opinion of the remake/port/whatever? Thumbs up/down.

(this way you can see if people like the game for nostalgia's sake or because it is currently fun.)

New IP:

1: Do you own the full game? Yes/No (to weed out issues/disappointments with the demo)

-If yes does the demo give a thorough impression of the game (i.e. if you like the demo, you'll like the game or vice versa)? Yes/No

-If no, skip to #2

2: Your opinion? Thumbs up/down.

------------------

That's the complicated version. A simple thumbs up/thumbs down would work or maybe something like the three level scale from OXM (cringe) DLC ratings scale (Buy, Fanboys Only, Don't Buy).
