Best Game Writers 2005 Recognized

GameDaily.biz has given the nod to some of the best game writers in the business for this year. From Seanbaby to Jerry Holkins, the best wordsmiths got some recognition. From the article: "Game Informer Crew - Yes, this is a cop out, but the GI staff received so many votes as a group (especially from game developers) that they earned a spot on this list. It seems a bit of a shame that they have to work so anonymously. If they are doing such a great job, the writers deserve some of the credit on an individual basis. Next year, no more group votes."

    The problem is, most people liken a 1-10 score to a school grade, with 100-90 being A, 89-80 B, 79-70 C, and so on. So the people rating the game cater to that. So, as school grading goes, C is mediocre, therefore, average games get a 7-ish score. Bad games get less than 7, and really bad ones get less than 6. I've seen some pretty bad scores on IGN, mostly from the PC channel, most from Ivan Sulic.
