Yes means this is a very high quality game, and we have no problem recommending it to anyone as long as they like the genre.
Maybe means we think the game is good, but not necessarily for everyone. If you know the game or like the sound of the description, go for it
No means that we don't recommend the title at all.

Command & Conquer
Price: $8.45
The original Command & Conquer might have been amazing back in the day, but it just doesn't hold up very well with so many modern RTS games being so polished and detailed. While it may be good for a hit of nostalgia, the much better Red Alert is available for download and for the same price, which makes this original difficult to recommend. It still plays the same as it always did, and big fans of the series will probably purchase it anyway, but newcomers to Command & Conquer just won't 'get' it.
Worth buying? No
Command & Conquer: Red Alert
Price: $8.45
It's no secret that RTS games feel better to play on an actual computer with a mouse and keyboard rather than a control pad. While this may be the case, Red Alert was well ahead of its time, being not only an improvement over the original Command & Conquer, but also being enjoyable in its own right to the point where you'd forget that you were playing a game that is probably suited better to a PC. Despite a few games in the Command & Conquer series, Red Alert is one of the strongest, but it's worth mentioning that if you aren't interested in RTS games, you definitely won't enjoy this. Plus, it's still better to play on PC.
Worth buying? Maybe
Rayman
Price: $8.45
One of the last platformers that was released just when that amazing third dimension was revealed, Rayman still holds up today as a fun platformer that is very clever with its level design, with smart puzzles combined with good basic platforming elements. While its sequels may have been better games technically, Rayman was the one that started the iconic character off to begin with, and is definitely one to download if you want to get that warm fuzzy feeling inside. Of course, there are better platformers available, so rushing to purchase Rayman might not be advisable unless you need a fix.
Worth buying? Maybe
Street Skater
Price: $8.45
With so many skateboarding games available on the market (including at least 70 featuring Tony Hawk), we're perplexed as to why they decided to release a skateboarding game from the PSone that is so average. While Street Skater might have been good when it was released 10 years ago, it just doesn't hold up today as an enjoyable experience, especially compared with such modern gems as Skate. At the cheap price, it's possible that some skateboarding fans somewhere may find this enjoyable, but to be honest, we doubt it.
