I wanted to create a rating system that represented just how good a game truly is. I racked my brain looking for what could possibly be the embodiment of happiness. After a random person in the pub poll it was unanimously decided that the greatest thing in life, is beer.

Now that I had established the greatness of beer I had to use science, math and even chemistry to create an infallible algorithm that would assign greatness to a game. Thus the 1 to 5 beer rating was born. Blame science!

This game BLOWS, probably made by an ugly woman. Just say NO.

This game is seriously MEDIOCRE/AVERAGE. It isn’t good but doesn’t suck, probably made by a hot woman.

This game is GOOD, but a number of significant flaws hold it back from being great. Fans of the genre will find it worth the play.

This game is GREAT! It’s not perfect, but you should definitely check it out.

EXCELLENT game, GO PLAY IT NOW! An essential gaming experience that’s well worth your time and money. Have some beers while you are at it!
