    Kotaku Magu: 360 Scores

    I'm not a big reader of game magazines. For the most part they are not my cup of Peppermint Mocha, but there are a few I do read, like Games for Windows and British mag 360.

    A confession: I started reading 360 because I write a monthly column for them and they are kind enough to ship them over to me in big brown packages. Though sadly, they are not tied up with string.

    While flipping through the latest issue to pull out review scores for this edition of Kotaku Magu I noticed that they do something kind of cool with their reviews. They have this whole Reviewing Experience Graph which is meant to show you what their reviewer thought of the game over the hours they played it.

    More magazines need to do this sort of thing, because for a lot of people, I think, straight up reviews just don't cut it.

    So here's their latest review scores from issue nineteen:
    Blue Dragon: 4/5
    Star Trek: Legacy: 2/5
    World Snooker Championship 2007: 3/5
    Bionicle Heroes: 2/5

    I haven't played Blue Dragon or Snooker, but I totally agree with the other two.
