We just wanted to let people know how we plan to go about reviewing our games.
It's fair to say between us we've played a lot of games across god knows how many formats. We've seen some fantastic ones and some that made us cry - basically we know what makes a good game and what makes a bad one.
We'd like to think our reviews will always represent a fair and unbiased opinion. We will only ever review the retail version of a finished game and not before we've spent significant time with it - most likely to the point of completion.
When a review is submitted the title will always include the name of the game and the format it's being reviewed on. Underneath that you'll see the name of the reviewer and some core details such as the genre of the game, the UK release date, the developer, the publisher and any other formats the game is being released on.
When considering a score for a game we will take into account a number of factors including but not limited to gameplay, graphics, audio, innovation, immersion and longevity.
Reviews will always be scored out of 10 with 1 being the worst score and 10 obviously being the best. Half scores can also be awarded. Here's a rough guideline of what we consider a good or bad game:
1 - Drivel
2 - Awful
3 - Bad
4 - Poor
5 - Below Average
6 - Average
7 - Good
8 - Very good
9 - Excellent
10 - Outstanding
We hope you will agree this system is both fair on the games we review and honest to the readers. Who knows, perhaps you'll grow to have faith and confidence in our judgment!
Fingers crossed you will enjoy reading our reviews as much as we will enjoy writing them.

Orientation
Hello and welcome to Inferior Gamers!
Firstly thank you for taking the time to check us out. Inferior Gamers has been created simply because we wanted a space to put some of our thoughts and opinions on the video games industry down in writing.
What's the name all about I hear you ask? Well we enjoy all types of games - from the yearly EA Sports title updates to obscure Japanese RPG's. We've played nearly 400 Xbox 360 games between us and that's just one format! But when it comes down to the last lap of the race or the final kill in team deathmatch we're the last guy you want on your team. Hence we are inferior to the majority of gamers out there.
In terms of the content we will be putting out don't expect daily or regular updates. We won't be submitting frequent news - there are plenty of sites far better equipped than ourselves to provide you with that sort of information. Instead expect fair and honest reviews on the games we've been playing with the occasional feature, article or opinion thrown in on a particular aspect of the industry.
Feel free to comment on any posts we make - debate and discussion is to be actively encouraged! We'd also appreciate any feedback be it positive or negative, just please make sure it's constructive. We hope you like what you see and that you might subscribe and come back in future.
Thanks,
Jay & Nige
