[edit] Game Reviews
Reviews usually featured a full-page description of the game from a neutral point of view, followed by comments by three different reviewers and a score out of twenty by each reviewer. This gave the reader a good understanding of the game and allowed the reader to make a decision based on more than one point of view.
