    Looks like OF's grades, eh Avalith?
    Ratings edumacation get's a B-...well I thought it'd be higher what with Brain Age and other brain games as of late. I can't believe they gave their own rating system a grade as low as a C+.

      I don't know. Giving him a B might be too much credit.

    The C for parental involvement doesn't seem right to me, there seems to be a lot of cases were parents are buying their kids games with high certificates then blaming it on the game rather than themselves for buying it.

    Wow I didn't know they were making a report card for stuff like this cool. Game rentals are F, its like 10 dollars for a game for 5 days where i live, its a rip off.
