What do these ratings mean?

I really had to debate with myself about whther this is a B+ or A- game but I  marked it up. It was a fun 6 nights of gameplay and I  finished it in 12-15 hours.

It's a pretty good story IMHO and is fun to play in the darkness. It certainly has it's scary moments. I  played it on Normal and I  didn't have too many problems. I thought I  would be unarmed in parts of the game but luckily I managed to find a cache of weapons and ammo just when I needed it.

The games creates a great environment. I t also makes you think a little bit before you plan your next move in certain situations.

I don't want to give away any of the sotry so I'll leave it at  that.

Most of my games that I  buy get a B+ or better grade on Game Revolution. And I  have never been disappointed in any games that I  bought based on those reviews.

I would definitely say buy the game.

It comes with a bonus episode coming out soon that is included if you buy the game new, plus there is a second episode(or chapter) coming out after that, but you have to buy the second one.

Enjoy.
