How We Score

Here at Xbox Overdose, we score our reviews based on a $0 - $50 scale. This is the price at which we would recommend buying the game being reviewed. We understand that next-gen games are typically priced at $60, but in protest of the “next-gen tax” we are making $50 our highest honor.

Xbox Live Arcade game reviews are based on a 0 - 1200 points scale. These points represent the number of Microsoft Points we think the game is worth. Since no XBLA game has broken the 1200 points ($15) barrier yet, 1200 points is our max.
