...allow me to elaborate. Essentially, I'm implementing a new feature in the games reviews section - Expanded Scores. These're essentially micro-reviews for games, and will always be tacked onto the end of a prose review, or they may well appear on their own. Essentially they're for getting the
gist of a review across, so if you can't be arsed to read my wall of text, but still care about what I think, you can have a quick glance at the Expanded Scores!
They'll essentially look like this - and yes, I have IGN to thank for the main idea.
Graphics and Presentation Obvious what I'll talk about here. No more than 50 words per section here, by the by. X/10
Sound Something about the sound design here effects here. This includes voice acting and music as well as sound effects. X/10
Gameplay Comments on the gameplay here. Simple, really. X/10
Value for Money Well...is it? Usually I'll conclude this section with either 'Rent' or 'Buy'. You can figure out what I mean by those... X/10
Reviewer's Tilt This is a concept that I can't take credit for - Gamespot used to use it a few years ago before they introduced their badge system. Here I'll talk about anything that doesn't fall into the above four categories. Essentially it tweaks the score in any one direction, based on my feelings towards it. For instance, if I give low marks to all of the four categories, but still liked the game, I can put 10 here to make the overall score more accurately represent what I think of the game. X/10

Overall Score: XX%Obviously there are going to be some teething problems as I 100% sort out the code for it (at the moment its at about 90%), but hopefully this'll be a new and exciting feature that'll keep you guys interested!
Now! Onto a Velvet Assassin review!
