EGRS is intended to be a criteria-based scoring system for user reviews. The overall scoring system is out of 100, with different sets of criteria to individually allocate points to. The combination of these criteria would then add up to a percentage of 100 as a final score. Users would be encouraged to create a Blog post in which their reasoning is explained for the benefit of other users. Perfect scores are strongly discouraged; there is no such thing as a "perfect" game.


 * Note: These are in no way finalized, and are open to change and modification.

Yes/No
This can be used with or without a review score. The reason for this being an option is that, while a game may have compelling gameplay and provide a great deal of fun, there may be other reasons for not recommending a game, such as the conduct of the game's developer and/or publisher, or the quality/integrity of the multi-player service if it is crucial to the game's appeal.

Fun
First off, is the game fun? Does the game draw you back it after you've finished a session? Does the game keep your attention for long periods of time?

Scored out of 20.

Playability
How playable is the game itself? Does the game have serious glitches that shipped with the first release?

Scored out of 20.

Compulsion
Does the game have a compelling story, or in the absence of a story, compelling gameplay mechanics that provide an interesting alternative to existing games?
