I've got a few that I thought were utter crap and wondered what the hell people were thinking rating a game high (Ubermosh, I'm looking at you). For the most part, if I pay attention to games that are the kind I like (immediately ignore puzzle & story & anime) they turn out fine. Even if I have fun playing a $2 game for a couple hours, that's a win, and once in awhile I end up playing a $2 or $5 game for far longer, and once in a long while I end up finding something that's vying for game of the year for me (Cosmochoria). - Justisaur
