How do you use your ratings scale?

Lithium:
dont you hate how the backspace key doubles as the back key for browsers?
then you lose a post you spent about an hour working on?

so screw that. I'm just going to make a quick version.

post how you use your ratings scale here. I'm curious to see how it differs from person to person yadda, yadda, yadda, words, words, words.

so here's my own personal scale:

10 one of my favourite games of all time/generation
examples: Half-life, Metroid Prime/Super

9 while not an alltime favorite it is worthy of high praise.
examples: Viewtiful Joe

8 worth more than the sum of its parts and/or a great memorable experience
examples: 999, Killer 7, No more heroes 1 & 2, Phoenix Wright

7 a good game
examples: professor layton: unwound future

6 above average but will be hit or miss for most. Or good, but shallow.
examples: Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, Metroid other M, Punch-out

5 average, bland but not good/bad
examples: Counter-Strike, Sonic Adventure 1 & 2

4 below average
examples: most 3-d sonic games

3 so bad its good
examples: Custer's revenge, Night Trap

2 I hate this game
examples: Shovelware games i rented in hopes it would be a 3

1 Single Indian Tear
examples: E.T

0propaganda games with malicious intent
but 0 is a theoretical score since I wouldn't actually play those.

Then I started writing about the factors that influence how much i like a game the most but whatever, just pretend there's a good paragraph or two under here.

Long story short its the Story and World/Art Design that influence me most.

broodwars:
I just don't use scores anymore.  It was too much of a headache to try to boil down my thoughts numerically, and the score shouldn't matter anyway.  I prefer to just write out my thoughts and let them speak for themselves.

MegaByte:
How many people who talk about E.T. or Custer's Revenge have actually played it?
