Rate the Game: Week 131

[M-A-G]

Hello, everyone. Sorry for the late start on this, but staying out and rocking out late into the night takes more out of me than it used to. Nonetheless, I will not shirk my duties! It's time for another Rate the Game! Sadly, we haven't had any breakout stars these last few weeks. Nothing so far has come close to breaking that sweet 4.0 barrier that the real winners earn.
