IGN scale:

• 7/10 - we didn’t get paid enough for this, but we don’t want to burn bridges
• 8/10 - contract stated we could be honest, and the game kinda sucked; OR it was a pretty good indie, but we didn’t get paid
• 9/10 - pretty good indie, but we don’t want to lump it with the bigger studies; OR bad AAA game, but they paid a lot for this review
• 10/10 - good enough for the amount they paid for the review
