Rate the Xbox 360 Game

Rate the Xbox 360 Game
Rate the Xbox 360 Game is a series of topics wherein the purpose is to score Xbox 360 games and then average the scores out to determine the board's preferences on different titles. It starts fresh from the various previous game rating topics.

In the original run, scores had to be justified to be counted in the main tally. Justification is simply any logical form of explanation for a score aside from "this game is good/bad". Non-justified scores are counted in a secondary tally that is not used to determine game ranking, but is made available for those who believe that all scores should be counted regardless whether or not they are justified. This is no longer in effect as of the second run.

Format of a result ~ Game Name - (vote count) score - (season one vote count/score) (GameRankings review count/score)

The first run of topics ended on Day 72.

Currently the topic is experiencing its second run (started: December 12, 2010)
