About

How we see the gaming world!

The fragbox360.com site has a fundamental, long-term commitment to games. Our business is games, our people are gamers. So we want to build great long-term relationships with our readers and advertisers, and to operate with integrity in both creative and commercial areas.

The fragbox360.com site firmly believes in the highest possible journalistic standards, and as such abides by a strict editorial code of ethics that aims to reflect the core values of objectivity, accuracy, fairness and transparency.

Therefore we’ve compiled a list of things we hold important – a set of rules that we live by, and procedures that we follow.

•Editorial and commercial issues are kept separate.
•We report stories as we see them, as accurately and impartially as possible – we serve our readers and thereby our advertisers best by being reliable, fair and impartial.
•If we receive a response after publication, we update the story or add a new one where necessary.
•We always offer a right to reply, correct any factual errors brought to our attention, and credit our sources clearly where applicable.
•We do not publish an unsubstantiated rumour without first having attempted to verify it ourselves, but will respect any request for sources to remain confidential.
•We believe in being fair, honest and transparent in our dealings with advertisers.
•We will not ‘oversell’ nor over-claim about our readership. The traffic on all our sites is regularly verified by third parties, and we publish that information promptly.
•We provide a consultative sales approach based on understanding our readers, our advertisers and the marketplace.

How we score games

All the games reviews on fragbox360 are written by people like you – gamers.  Our reviews and interviews offer unbiased opinions direct from people who devote their spare time to playing them.

Scoring is on a simple scale of 0 – 5, with scores being roughly broken down as follows:

Rating: *****   – a game we strongly recommend adding to your collection and shouldn’t miss. There are several factors and measurements we use to give a game five stars. Graphic quality, Audio Quality, Story line, Re-playability, Price, Downloadable Content. These are some of the criteria we use when grading a game.

Rating: ****   – a great title which most people will enjoy, offering fun and entertainment. Games with this rating will have a mood and undeniable charm that is not easy to find.

Rating:***    – an average title, the kind that’s likely to split opinion across the board whenever it’s discussed.

Rating:**  – below average. Not necessarily a travesty, but a title where there’s little reason to warrant a purchase unless you’re a real fan of the genre or series.

Rating: *   – poor. A real let down where there’s very little to recommend the title to anyone. Probably a game that’s best to avoid.

Rating: 0– the lesser spotted score, reserved for the real atrocities. The game has zero merits and you’d probably have more fun nailing your eyelids to an angry cat.
