Now here's an example.

Quote:
 

Platform: PS3, 360, PS2, PSP, DS

Game Title: Mega Game Collection 12

Story: 8/10 It was a good story, but at times hard to follow.

Gameplay: 7/10 The gameplay was good, but there were flaws that sent you to your death without being in your control.

Graphics: 10/10 Simply Stunning!!

Controls: 8/10 Real tight controls and easy to use!

Sound Effects: 10/10 The sound effects are really realistic

Music: 5/10 The music is repetitive and boring

Replay Value: 8/10 It made me come back to play for more when I was done.

Buy or Rent: It's a fun game, and it does have it's multiplayer mode which is really fun, even though the stage selection is limited. It's really up to you, whether you're just need a multi-player game for a party or you really want to beat the game.

Overall: 7.5/10 It was a good game overall. Not the best, but still good. The fact that there isn't a big group of people who worked on this game make it more amazing. If you're a fan of the past 11 Mega Game Collections, you'll love this!

I'll Start.

Game Title: Midnight Club 3

Story: Null There is no story to the game, this does not apply to the game.

Gameplay: 9/10 It's really addicting! The gameplay has a true sense of speed. In other words it feels like you're going over 100 Mph instead of going slow, because motion blur when you're going fast. It's fun racing for money and gaining wicked cars. You can also modify them by putting body kits on them and make them faster.

Graphics: 8/10 Really the graphics aren't anything special, but they really push the PS2/Xbox to the limit. Because of the high framerate, speed, and just huge map.

Controls: 7.5/10 The controls are good, but sometimes you're going so fast you can't turn in time to make it into another street and you end up slaming into a building.

Sound Effects: 7/10 They're Ok. Nothing worth mentioning, because I hardly notice them. I like the sound of the rubber burning though. lol

Music: 6/10 I'm not really the one for rap and their rock sucks, but overall it's not so bad you want to mute the game.

Replay Value: 10/10 I found myself coming back over and over to play this game. The gameplay is really addicting.

Buy or Rent: Buy! It's only $20 dollars, it's cheap!

Overall: 8.5/10

Game Title: Fable (Xbox only)

Story: 8/10 You play as a male character who grows up, becoming a hero. From childhood to adulthood you go through training at the hero's guild and then carry out quests later on

Gameplay: 7/10 dodgy camera at times and mine happens to have a glitch that makes the ground go temporarily completely green O_O

Graphics: 9/10 Excellent graphics!

Controls: 8/10 once you've mastered the weapons it should be a blast!

Sound Effects: 7/10 most of it's good, but some humans can get annoying

Music: 10/10 Fantastic!

Replay Value: 8/10 Oh aye, it's good to come back and play cuz then you can choose to take on an evil/good path

Buy or Rent: No multiplayer in it but still a cracking good game if you like the genre of RP type. I'd say buy it!

Overall: 9/10 Brilliant game, one of my favourites. It's sure to not disappoint!

Don't tell me what I can or can't do!

Game Title: Sonic Rush

Story: 10/10 I like the story. With the different dimention and sol emralds and all that other stuff. It was very well thought out.

Gameplay: 9/10 The gameplay is great high speed action with some new moves! But it's pretty much the same as other Sonic games only easier.

Graphics: 8/10 The graphics are okay. They could be worked on more. But hey, you can't expect alot from portable games.

Controls: 10/10 The controls are very simple. No confusing moves.

Sound Effects: 10/10 PERFECT! I like the sound effects. Especially when Sonic and Blaze are doing tricks in the air!

Music: 10/10 Best Sonic music I have ever heard! Rock 'N' Roll mxes!

Replay Value: 5/10 This game is very short. There are only 7 zones. And some bosses. Replay value is really bad. They've should made the game longer.

Buy or Rent: Well, you could probally finish it in a rent if you play really good. It's a good game. But I think rent is the most sutible. As it is very short so you really don't need to buy it.

Overall: 9/10 Sonic Rush was a great game! But just needed to be longer.

If I can get a DS or a PSP, would you say it would be wise to get a DS for Sonic Rush or get a PSP and wait for Sonic Rivals?

Game Title: Twisted Metal: Black

Story: 9/10 The story was good! Every player had their own unique story.

Gameplay: 9/10 The gameplay is the same addictive gameplay we've come to know from past Twisted Metal games! It may still be the same core concept, but it's fun blowing up other cars!

Graphics: 8/10 The graphics are still impressive for a very old game! It came out on PS2 in 2001, I think and it still is very good looking compared to the games of today.

Controls: 10/10 The controls are very simple. Square or up to move forward and left and right to turn.

Sound Effects: 10/10 Great! The sounds of exploding rockets and bombs really bring the game to life.

Music: 7/10 The in-game music isn't that great, it's simple looping music, but it's not bad. The real music is on the credits. The Rolling Stones - Paint it Black!

Replay Value: 9/10 The replay value is very good, because every character has their own story and when you beat the game it has you coming back for more in the single player challenge or other modes.

Buy or Rent: If you can find a copy, it's definately worth a buy. It's extremely cheap.

Overall: 9/10 Great addicting gameplay makes you wish there was a sequel.

Game Title: Conker: Live and Reloaded

Story: 8/10 It's a good story but can get very tricky at times

Gameplay: 7/10 you can choose whether to do battles or just the story mode. The battles are fun to play but not always that challenging. If you like shoot em ups that area would be more preferrable. The story is good if you like platforming games. The Live version of the battles can be chaos. Even though it's fun it can go really wild.

Graphics: 8.5/10 Very good 3D graphics

Controls: 7/10 They're simple and easy to use.

Sound Effects: 6/10 They're okay. Nothing magical.

Music: 6/10 Once again nothing magical. I barely even noticed the music.

Replay Value: 7/10 It's fun to do the battles over again, but the story mode for some is probably not good enough.

Buy or Rent: I'd say rent. The story mode should be beaten easily and unless you want to play the battle mode with friends or online I wouldn't recommend buying it.

Overall: 7.5/10 It's a good game but not really groundbreaking

Game Title: Rayman Arena (Xbox) a.k.a Rayman Multiplayer (PS2 and PC)

Story: 3/10 There isn't exactly a story behind it. It's just a competition

Gameplay: 7/10 I don't know what the PS2 one's like but I'm sure it's the same as the Xbox one. The races are better that the PC version cuz you get more weapons but it can be a little confusing as to what each weapon does. The battles on the PC hgas more weapons than the one on the Xbox/PS2 so I guess it's been even.

Graphics: 8/10 Great 3D graphics with a funny start to the game on all consoles

Controls: 8/10 - Xbox/PS2 6/10 - PC. The PC version is harder to controll if you're using the keyboard/mouse. It's easier to use a game pad. The Xbox and PS2 controlls are pretty good with only a slightly dodgy camera.

Sound Effects: 7/10 Nothing great, but still good.

Music: 9/10 I, myself, am quite fond of the music.

Replay Value: 8/10 The more you play and win it, the more characters and skins you can unlock. Pity you can't unlock weapons also.

Buy or Rent: Easy to beat if you have the time and it's fun to play with friends. Whether you Buy or Rent it is up to yourselves

Overall: 8/10 Great game and fun to play

Game Title: The Legend of Dragoon

Story:8/10 some unexpected twists, but hard to follow at other times. Great overall

Gameplay 8/10 medium difficulty, nothing special, but the addition attacks take some work! Along with some bosses.

Graphics:7/10 Considering it's a psone game, the graphics are decent, but sometimes the legs move around when they stand still.

Controls: 7/10 nothing special.

Sound effects: 9/10 really good, the sword & dragoon transformation sounds were really nice!

Music 10/10 really good! I think it's quite nice!

Replay value: 4/10 almost no replay value unless you want to get all the stardust or forgot part of the story

Buy or Rent: So old I doubt you can find it anywhere, but if you do Buy! It's to long to beat on a rent, & it's worth whatever you can get for it.

Overall: 8/10 Very nice, but it could be better considering it took 3 years of 100 people to make it. They could have at least fix the leg thing.

Mushroom Hill Act 2
Game Title: Okami

Story: 9 great story with lots of comedy, but I didn't like how it reuses the same things sometimes.

Gameplay: 9, really fun, but it takes a while to really get into the fun things and not just minor quests.

Graphics: 10, I love the cel shaded graphics, it makes the game look like a japenese watercolor painting

Controls: 10, the controls feel great and work fluidly

Sound Effects: 10, felt appropriate and have that certain charm to them that makes you feel good when you trigger them.

Music: 9, the music went well with the settings, though it could have been more tense at certain moments

Replay Value: 8, there are a ton of things you will miss, gameplay wise and story wise the first time through

Buy or Rent: Buy

Overall: 10

(I expected you to vote 10 on everything exept graphics)

Game Title: Pokemon Red Version (GBC)

Story: 7/10 You play as Red, on a little over-world map battling pokemon

Gameplay: 7/10 gets old after awhile, but you still get addicted

Graphics: 3/10 They are really bad, but I don't give a care.

Controls: 6/10 Meh. It's still fun.

Sound Effects: 7/10 They are decent, but it gets annoying when you hear the 'Tackle' sound over and over... XD

Music: 10/10 Pure awesome. XD

Replay Value: 6/10 It is a pretty long game, and you usually don't want to lose all of your Pokemon.

Buy or Rent: Buy. It is the best of them all, but sadly they are rare now-a-days...

Overall: 10/10 The graphics are bad, but the game is really addicting.

Game Title: Twisted Metal: Head On

Story: 7.5/10 Same thing as the other twisted metals where every character has a different ending. Although now there are different vehicles/drivers.

Gameplay: 8/10 Same as the other Twisted Metals basically. Which isn't a bad thing, but now there are power ups so you can upgrade your vehicle.

Graphics: 9/10 Not as good as the PS2 TM, but excellent for PSP.

Controls: 9/10 There are different controls that you can choose from. They're all pretty easy.

Sound Effects: 8/10 Good. It's nice to hear a missile fly right past you. ;)

Music: 7.5/10 What can I say? There really isn't any music in the levels besides instrumental stuff.

Replay Value: 8/10 I keep coming back to play it.

Buy or Rent: Buy! It's only $20.

Overall: 8.3/10

Mushroom Hill Act 2
Game Title: Gears of War

tory: 8, doesn't really tell you much about whats going on

Gameplay: 10, incredibly good use of your surroundings for cover, action is suspenseful and the special kills will have you saying "OMG!!!!!"

Graphics: 10, just one word, incredible, the textures and grimy look of areas really makes you feel like you are in this once living world torn apart by war

Controls: 10, shooting is fun and easy, and taking cover is a cinch, though it takes a bit of getting used to using the A button to take cover in every way.

Sound Effects: 10, they really put you into the game, from the revving of your chainsaw before you decide to take off an unlucky locust's arm, to the loud screeching of the kryll as they swoop in to kill you, there isn't a time when you aren't immersed

Music: 10, it really builds up the suspense of tense moments

Replay Value: 10, because of the ability to play through the whole game with a friend, and even online

Buy or Rent: definitely buy, best 360 game I have played yet

Overall: 9.9

Game Title: Sonic Rivals
Story: 7/10 Not really much story here, but hey neither did the originals... The story it does have isn't bad, but it's not deep...

Gameplay: 9/10 Like Sonic? Like Sonic two player on the genesis games? Like Racing? This is the game for you!

Graphics: 9/10 Superb for a handheld!

Controls: 10/10 What's there to say? Press left.... The other buttons are easy.

Sound Effects: 7/10 Normal Sonic sound effects.

Music: 8/10 Pretty good, nothing memorable though.

Replay Value: 8/10 I keep playing it. :)

Buy or Rent: This is a really tough call. I'd say buy, but it really depends on your tastes.

Overall: 8.5/10

Story. 9/10. The story is wery good. Where the spartans are to conquer the Romans.
