4 of these games were not rated by either site, 27 games rated 90% or above, 56 games rated 80%-89%, 53 games rated 70%-79%, 14 games rated 60%-69%, 10 games rated 50-59%, and 2 game rated 40-49%.

These scores were attained by averaging the scores from Gamespot and IGN, so they represent an average between two different review sites. These percentages are not representative of a "grade" as one would receive in school. A '50%' score should be viewed as completely average, anything above that should be viewed as above average.
