I realized the other day that I overlooked discussing one significant factor on the other games I've covered:
"Wow, that looks cool! How do you play?"
It's not a barrier to entry, but it needs to be factored in the game's rating.
I did factor it into the final rating of the games I've done so far, but (while doing so) failed to discuss it.
For example:
I really like Battleground: Fantasy Warfare. It's a great game. It plays well, it has a low introductory cost, and it's just plain fun. But the cards aren't very eye-catching. I give it a C here.
A large part of what sucked me into War Machine was the appearance of the figures. This gives it an A.
Once I'm done going over these minis, I'll throw together a chart with the games and the various categories I've used in rating them.
Wherein Eric discusses Games, the Game Industry, Gamer Culture and anything else which catches his eye.
