ChimpWare's new, rehashed, Scoring policy

ChimpWare evaluates the best, most interesting, most typed, most innovative or most promising videogames, software, hardware, films, music, technology and literature on a scale of ten, where five naturally represents the middle value. Chimpware aims to provide a rating system which is fair, progressive and balanced. An average presentation deserves an average mark. Not seven out of ten.

Chimpware however suggests that you read the entire review before deciding on a perchase.

Chimpware will give a Recommended award to truly excellent example of a genre, where most will love all of it, while all will love most of it, and where a presentation has recieved seven or higher.

Chimpware will only present a Chimptastic Award to the truly most finest examples of its form, which not only is an excellent example in its own right, buy also expands and revolutionises its genre or form of media. ChimpWare will only give Chimptastic Awards to presentation which scores nine or ten out of ten.

A score of seven, eight, nine or ten will not guarentee an award. However, higher scores obviously increases the chance of an award being given. Either one or the other award is given. Never both.

Other points of reference include Second Opinions (see right bar) by other Chimpware Members, where other reviewers can analyze, agree, disagree, enforce or destroy an argument or review, which obviously provides interesting reading. Another score out of ten is given. Second opinions cannot give awards.

Scores broadly correspond to the following sentiments; with an example of a PC Game included as point of reference:

zero: nothing (Big Brother)
one: disastrous (Championship Manager 5)
two: appalling (Horizons: Empire of Istaria)
three: crippled (Enter the Matrix)
four: dissappointing (Breed)
five: average (Unreal II: The Awakening)
six: competent (Doom III)
seven: distinguished (Prince of Persia: Warrior Within)
eight: excellent (Thief: Deadly Shadows)
nine: astounding (Rome: Total War)
ten: revolutionary (Half Life 2)
