RPS Game Rating System

This is a generic explanation of our various ratings on the Dr. Pepper scale. The more Dr. Pepper cans a game racks up, the better it is! And the Dr. Pepper cans go from bronze, to silver, to gold.

 1 This game is not worth the magnetic media it's written on. Do not even consider playing this game, because if you do, we will hunt you down and adorn our mantlepiece with your bleached skull. And since we just got a mantlepiece, you can imagine just how anxious we are to cover it with nice, bleached skulls.
 2 Buying this game is as good as burning good money. It's a waste, of your time, of the store's time, of the producer's time, of your processor's time, of the universe's time. This game epitomizes Entropy. Denounce it.
 3 Blech. It's awful. There might be a few people out there who could possibly enjoy playing this game while high on acid, but I haven't met any yet.
 4 Thumbs down. We advise against purchasing this game. You might play it, if you reeeeaaally want to, but I wouldn't if I were you.
 5 This game is so-so. It's average. Something to waste the time away, I suppose, on a very slow day. It most likely suffers from severe playability restrictions, lack of imagination, or focuses on an inappropriate (or boring) topic.
 6 This is an okay game, something that could really produce a bit of enjoyment if you really put your mind to it. If the subject happens to fall within your particular realm of interest ("Oh, I just love games about monkeys from outer space!"), you might want to consider purchasing it.
 7 This is a nice little game, although it probably suffers from some sort of limitations that can make it frustrating at times. If you're willing to be patient/forgiving, it can really be worth it to play.
 8 Any game scoring this high is an all-around well-designed game. While it may lack in such categories as originality, or playability, these short-comings are very minor and don't make this game much less enjoyable.
 9 Any game in this ranking is a hands down winner. More time has been spent playing this game than has been spent on balancing the budget. It's some of the absolute best new software available. Buy it. Play it. Live it. You can not go wrong here.
 10 The pinnacle of computer entertainment.This game is one of the best, not only on the current market, but also compared to all games that have come before it and possibly will come after it! A must play! If you can't afford it, steal it! Sell your grandmother for a copy!
(Note: This rating is extremely rare. In fact, so rare, we've never given any game a ten yet!)
