We play them.
I don't agree with your review!
We try to give a fair score to a game, based on how good it is overall, games are rated by a small team of game fanatics, and an average score is calculated.
How is the score calculated?
Games are rated by a small team of game fanatics, and an average score is calculated. Many metrics are used to create a fair score.
You gave a game a really low score!
It must be bad then.

It must be good then.
Scoring Policy
At No Fuss Reviews we are dedicated to providing honest and upfront reviews. We are not affiliated to any games publisher, developer or company or any other game review site. The No Fuss Reviews team is not comprised of editors or professional Beta testers, but real game players just like our readers.
Every game is reviewed by a panel of ten gamers and an average score is calculated from each panel members average score for the game. Many metrics are used when reviewing a game but the final score out of ten is our final review on how good the game is at being entertaining. To ensure there is no bias towards anyone platform our panel comprises of members with varying interests and tastes.
This is our break down on game scores and what the numbers mean.
10/10 - A game that scores full marks is a perfect or close to perfect piece of entertainment. A good example of this is 'Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots'.
9/10 - This game is a very good game with only very minor issues. A good example of this is 'Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare'.
8/10 - A game that scores eight is a well rounded game and will still be very good. A good example of this is 'Guitar Hero World Tour'.
7/10 - This score means the game is good but lacking in some way or has some issues. A good example of this is 'Tony Hawk's Proving Ground '.
6/10 - This game is not very good but can still be entertaining in some places. A good example of this is 'Zoo Tycoon'.
5/10 - This game isn't very good but may provide some slight entertainment. A good example of this is 'Harvest Moon DS Cute'.
4/10 - A game scoring four is bad try to avoid it. A good example of this is 'Go! Puzzle'
3/10 - A score of three means this game is very bad. A good example of this is 'Iron Man'.
2/10 - If a game scores two, after playing it you will want to sue the publisher for the time they stole from your life. A good example of this is 'A-Train HX'.
1/10 - A game scoring the lowest score possible means that it is next-to or is un-playable and may actually make you want to go outside (even if it is just to destroy the game in spectacular fashion). A good example of this is 'SPOGS Racing'.

How is the 'searches today' value calculated?
The 'searches today' value on the homepage adds all of the total number of requested searches for a 24 hour period (GMT) from site searches using both the search box and URL search, suggest searches and extension searches. If the server is busy performing searches it will use the most up-to-date value possible instead of showing a real-time value.
Are you not afraid a game publisher will try to destroy you?
A little.
