The Reticule is, as should be plainly obvious from the home page, a website about games. More specifically about games on the PC, 360, PS3, Wii and handheld and mobile platforms. For those of you with good memories, you may recall the site originally focused solely on the PC. How times have changed.
You may recognise the names of some of the authors from the original incarnation of the site, while some others are new. You can find out more about us by following this link.
You will find we provide news coverage, but only on those tidbits which catch our eye and give us the urge to write about them. Rather, you will more often find impressions, reviews, interviews and other more in-depth articles appearing.
A quick rundown of our scoring system is necessary at this juncture, it isn’t complicated, but it may not be quite what everyone is used to.
Red Mist – A rare sight, Game of the Year quality
Head Shot – Given to really awesome games, best of the bunch.
On target – Above average game, certain aspects or niggles making the game not for everyone but a stand out example of the genre.
Off target – Below average, major flaws or bugs that make the game not all there, and barely worth renting at all.
Crotch shot – Terrible. To be avoided and has almost no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Should be taken out the back and shot.
