Score Guide

                 This is the Score Guide from my score system that I am putting on games that I am playing.  Now take a look at the scale.  

1. This game is crap.  It is not even worth your time or money. (I don't expect to see many if any games that I play receive this score.)
2. Intriguing enough to try but not a game I would recommend to others to play.
3. A fun game that may lack depth.  Worth a rental but not worth buying.
4. Definitely give this game a try but wait until it's cheap to actually buy.
5. Must play.  Why haven't you bought it yet?

                 As you can see the scale doesn't necessarily reflect if a game is good or bad rather just if you should play it, rent it or buy it.  So as to say even if a game gets a two doesn't mean the game was bad I just wouldn't buy it or rent it and it wasn't so great as to go tell others that they should either.  However mind you this doesn't say that you shouldn't play a game that gets a score of two it can still be a good game.  The games to avoid will be a game with a score of one.  

                Hopefully you can see where I am going with this score guide.  May be it's not very clear but I wanted something simple that could easily apply to any games I play.  If you are confused or have comments let me know below. 

Cheers.

On a side note even though I rent games, any games that I do buy I only buy new.  I like to support the developers and publishers of my favorite games.  I do not like to by used and I am against getting ripped off by trading my games back in for someone else to buy used. 

State of the Hegemony

                I have been gaming for most of my life starting out on family friends' Atari, Nintendo(NES) and Sega Genesis until I got my very own Super Nintendo.  This is a story similar to many others of my generation, and while gaming is a massive part of who I am, I still remember that games of those days of ol' could not harness my very active imagination.  Imagination and make believe games outside may be a thing of the past but that is a topic for another time. 

My Humble Beginnings

                Basically I am a passionate gamer and an enthusiastic blogger.  I have penned several game specific blogs that fizzle out as my interest/time for a specific game dries up.  So I am starting this more general blog about gaming as the primary focus and who knows there may be other content as well.  But STILL mainly gaming, focusing on Xbox 360 and Xbox One games.  Then I will sprinkle in some PC stuff as well with the possibility of some tablet game talk as smartglass and companion apps gear up this fall.

My Near-ish Future of Gaming

                Life for me is busy, busy, busy right now so we will have to see what kind of frequency these posts will come out at.  Some posts will be long and some short and sweet.  Anyway read, enjoy and comment.
