Video games ratings

Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo and the fighting games, one pool per platform. Console-war drafting, essentially, with Master Chief and Kratos and Mario in separate corners until the all-platform mode puts them in the same deck.

How these ratings are built

Video game characters are rated on strength, with a nod to how big the games are. Raw in-universe power does most of the work, but a character who carried a landmark series gets credit for it, which is why Mario is not rated purely on what a plumber can lift. Editorial throughout, and the size-of-the-franchise thumb on the scale is stated rather than hidden.

Every rating in this category runs on the same 40 to 99 scale the rest of the game uses. There are 211 entries here across 4 pools. In the game itself these numbers stay hidden until the verdict screen, which is the whole point of the auction; this page is the reference copy, for settling arguments after the fact.
