Week in Review for 3 11 2012 Overrated Games Week

But hey, this isnt that bad considering Im currently also writing a novella, editing a novel, going to work, and doing an internship. So yeah, busy busy. My thoughts for this week: comparing review scores. Heres something I want to point out with my reviews: while the star scores are helpful, they arent the "end all" for these games. I also rate games based both on the experience, what system they are on, and generally if I feel they are worth ...
