The Reason
The GP2X's library of homebrew games and apps has grown a lot since it first came out. For anyone who's thinking of getting the system, this could be a problem, because how do they know what's worth playing? The ratings in the archive seem pretty inaccurate to me, so it's very possible for new users and vets alike to miss out on some great pieces of software.
The Solution!
This is how this topic works:
1. I'll post up a new piece of software periodically in the below current game section.
2. You will read what game is currently being rated, and post whether or not you think it's Good, Decent, or Bad.
3. Good - means it's a piece of software you love having on your GP2X. If you use it regularly, or find yourself having large amounts of enjoyment while playing it, you may be playing a Good game.
4. Decent - There are a few reasons a game could only get decent. Maybe it's an awesome idea, but is lacking some features, or has a ton of bugs or something. Or perhaps while it's fun to play, you really don't find yourself coming back to it very often. Or maybe it's not that great of a concept, but is executed amazingly (think a tic tac toe game with insane graphics, sound, and features).
5. Bad - These games just aren't worth playing. Maybe it's an early build of a piece of software, or perhaps the idea is pretty lousy, and it doesn't make up for that in any way.
6. After rating the game (be straightforward in your answer, but feel free to elaborate as much as you'd like), you can also choose to nominate the next game to be rated. I don't want to have to just go alphabetically through the archive :unsure:
7. After some arbitrary amount of time, I'll tally up the scores, and list them under past scores. I'll list them based on the formula 2x Good + 1x Decent + 0x Bad.
Don't Be Afraid To Do The Hate!
This isn't a topic to make developers feel good, in fact if your game is being rated, you might want to ignore what people say about it. This is a topic to help beginners know what to check out when they get their GP2X, so if we start rating a piece of software that is still in development, feel free to say it's bad, even if it has loads of potential. When new versions of software are released, they will be re-rated.
Current Software
Currently we are rating: Beat2X
Past Scores
Nothing's been rated yet...

) but if I was looking at the top rated programs, I'd be lead to believe it's not as good as an emulator that runs at 4 FPS!
