[QUOTE=andrew]Why is there an f- on some reviews? An f is an f meaning failure. There's no such thing as f- or f+. All F- should be just F.

Critic, you really should have a page that explains in detail your grading system. You can explain what the difference between the grade C and B is, and also how you grade on a scale.
I think this would be helpful since a game that gets a C on your site is usually still a pretty decent game. Most people see the grade and the instant think its crap.
Just an idea that could help those new to the site.

Actually I think my grading system is as intuitive as you can get, with a "C" being dead average. Unlike most sites which inflate their grades, I think you'll discover that my average grade is a "C". The exceptions may be systems which I don't have enough reviews for (yet), but in the long run they average out.
In most other sites and magazines, most games are rated "above average" (which is illogical), and the worst games are given "average" scores. I think they are really the cause of the confusion. On my site, an "average" score means the game is perfectly decent.
My use of "F-" is typically for comic relief.
Also, I am gradually working to replace/update my older reviews which tend to be mediocre, and I've been doing this for some time. I usually don't announce these changes unless I re-review the game from scratch (which is sometimes necessary).
