I'm Done with the 10 Point Review Scale

Since I started blogging I've always used a 10 point scale in my reviews, but today that will change. It's been a long time coming, but as of today I will only use the more simple 5 point scale (bad, mediocre, average, good, great).

Even though I've always said that my scores aren't an objective measure of anything (nobody's scores are, but at least I admit it), the 10 point scale always seemed more precise, but with time I've realized that it's just an illusion and that simple is better. My goal in using a score is to help you understand my overall opinion of a game in case the text doesn't do that, and a 5 point scale is more than sufficient.
