You are right Cherdman... free does not always mean poor quality. I mention shareware/freeware only because so many commercial ppc games being sold right now have had a shareware/freeware equivalent version (or something very close) available on the PC for years. A typical strategy is to give these games a slight graphical facelift and sell them for far more than they are worth. But as long as there are people who will keep paying $20US for Yahtzee then the practice will continue (which brings me full circle to my plea for more sophistication on the part of ppc gamers).
Anyhow, it sounds like the majority of you are totally content with the 83rd consecutive Bejewelled knockoff game getting a 10/10, because the graphics in this one are REALLY shiny... so I will quit arguing my case and rattling the bars of the status quo cage.
Btw, I really like Cropped Out too hnelson59, but there is no way that it deserves a perfect score in anybody's review. I guess that is what the basis of my contention was... Just because a game is fun doesn't mean it deserves a score that should be reserved for those ultimate, ground breaking, genre defining games that come along rarely. An 8/10 is a really good game. A 10/10 is a truly GREAT game, and at this stage of ppc game development there have been very few truly great games produced yet.
