I think my rating scale is:
1 - I do not think it worth one's time 2 - Worth some time, with caveats (like "take a peek but don't feel obligated to complete") 3 - A good game, worthy of significant amounts of one's time 4 - A standout game and/or one of great import 5 - One of the best things ever.
