the stars are from anybody rating it. Alex dosen't played most of the games though.
Havaco is right -- I only pay attention to those with 1/2 a star or those will 3 stars that a lot of ppl talk about.
The only reason I look at the 1/2 stars is to delete them.
the stars on the left of a games name is simply to signify that it is category featured. chances are, unless a war category is added, your game wont be added. of course its up to march and not me so anyway...
