500 views return!

Greetings friends and people and other!

This is Nevermore, with IIWYM, saying...

*I RETURN!*

This week, expect three new reviews and writings! Shadowrun Returns, Loadout, and PAPERS, PLEASE are all on the slate scheduled for the next few days!

Sadly, I haven't been delivering on some of my earlier promises. But expect a short piece on Darksiders II finally (Ugh, you've been trying to write that forever! Get out of here! Faaaaaaaaake! -The Internet)

I hope to be writing much more as I have now retrieved my more functioning laptop.

Once again, this is Nev, with IIWYM, signing off for now!

(Also, nearly 600 viewers! Woooo!)

The Ratings on IIWYM

This is the place where I rate the game based on my personal review criteria, and the thing you, as a potential game buyer, want to know the most. “Is this game worth the 20/40/60/80 dollars that I’m about to pay for it?”

In short, my reviews follow this final score criteria.

BUY ANY PRICE-

This means the game is an excellent value to buy at any asking price, and indicates an experience that I’m willing to venture will be worth whatever you pay for it (Within reason, don’t use this as an excuse to buy some game for $200)

BUY IT DISCOUNT/RENT IT

This rating means that the game is a good experience that I'm willing to venture you will enjoy, but might be worth shopping around for a better price or waiting for it to drop a bit in the case of new releases before making a purchase. The second highest rating in my system.

Rent it is the same quality level, but indicates a polarizing experience that may not be quite for you, so I’d suggest renting it to see if you like it before committing to a buy, if any.

BUY IT CHEAP

This means that the game is good and a solid experience, but may have some faults that detract from the experience or some other issues, and is also not a must-own game. That doesn’t mean it is bad in any way, it just means that it might be worth waiting until the price is good, or comes down a bit for triple-A games (Standard $60 titles)

BUY IT BARGAIN

This means the game is ultimately flawed, but there is still some definite fun to be had here. Games with this rating should be bought for very cheap, like a big Steam sale or so on.

DON’T BUY IT!

This should be pretty self-explanatory. This game is very flawed, and overall is NOT worth your money. This score is only reserved for the very worst games, or experiences that are extremely repetitive or in some other way nothing you haven’t seen before.
