Whats the numerical cutoff point for games I should be buying?
That’s entirely up to you. Everyone has a different threshold, which often depends on how much time and money you have to spend on games. If you’re a hardcore enthusiast who likes to play lots of different games, then you shouldn’t be dismissing games that we give 6-range and 7-range or even 5-range scores to because these may be of interest to you if you can look past their faults. On the other hand, if you have a limited budget and have very discriminating tastes, then you may wish to only consider games that score in the 8 and 9 ranges. For our part, we are committed to rating games consistently, which means that when we give a game an 8 or a 9, we think you’ll more than likely agree with us that it’s well worth your while.
