		<description>&lt;p&gt;I don&#039;t think I&#039;ve ever actually used a &quot;game rating&quot; in any of the game reviews I&#039;ve done where I work... I just don&#039;t quite see the point of them.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ultimately, I think that game reviews suffer the problem of this:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Because games aren&#039;t very expensive, it doesn&#039;t matter if the game you&#039;re reviewing is reviewed as junk, people will still go out and buy it. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sometimes just to see how junk it is.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And when you end up with a good review, people will buy that game anyway, too.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That said, I&#039;m probably speaking a load of crap. &lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Avoid,&lt;br /&gt;
Rent,&lt;br /&gt;
Buy,&lt;br /&gt;
Don&#039;t miss.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;4 Stars is all we need.&lt;/p&gt;
