I was just reading the grown ups review on screened.com here: http://www.screened.com/grown-ups/16-193232/staff-review/
and with it getting 0 stars it got me thinking of whether the GB crew has given a game the same score
any you guys can think of?
Has the GB crew ever given 0 out of 5 stars for a game?
It's not in their scale...

That would be stupid. If you check their scale, 1 says "This game will make you wish you had died in a fire moments before turning it on." Which means that it's the lowest of the low. Putting a 0 would simply be a joke and would be the equivalent of putting "This game sucks, don't play it" as the sole sentence in the written review.
And linked directly from that page:" It's not in their scale...

This game will make you wish you had died in a fire moments before turning it on.
If there were a 0 star, then I really wouldn't want to experience that game.
0 stars is not on their scale. They discuss their scale on the help page.
There have been quite a few games getting 0 though. You can view them all by going here (it's all of the reviews sorted by star ranking, starting with the lowest)

" 0 stars is not on their scale. They discuss their scale on the help page.While it isn't in their scale, recently Screened gave a 0/5 score for Grown Ups:

So I reckon even though they haven't already, anything's possible. You never know when they might come up with Big Rigs 2.
" @zonerover: Screeened use a different scale, which starts at 0 stars. "Okay then - reading the fine print is probably not a waste of time. I just assumed that since GB has had a long standing scale of 1-5 starts and that they also had a 5 star rating that there must have been something in common between them since they're both Whiskey properties. Obviously Alex and the Matts thought that movies deserved to be rated 0/5.
Sure is forced opinions in here." @luce said:
" 5 stars Meaning 5 levels of grading If there was a 0 star rating it would be 6 levels, breaking GB's rating system Plus...Is there really a game that deserves 0 stars? "GTA4 = The story is garbage and the cast is unlikeable. So many shitty jokes, everything they say is either a smart-ass remark or a stupid joke. But this game has pretty graphics and wall cover mechanics so im sure people will defend it "
I'll go too, Metal Gear Solid is shit, Halo is shit, Call of Duty is shit, Madden is shit, TF2 is shit, Half-Life is shit, Counter Strike is shit, Company of Heroes is shit, BioShock is shit, God of War is shit, Fallout 2 is shit, Uncharted 2 is shit, Killzone 2 is shit, Mario is shit, Zelda is shit. But these games have fans, so I'm sure people will defend them. I'm not at all a retard, uh, huh, not at all.
