Common questions
Whose verdict is on this site?
Somebody else's. Played and Rated summarises reviews and testing published by named outlets, and it does not score games itself, which is why every piece credits and links the review it draws on. The section called Vale la pena collects the buying question as other publications have answered it.
How is the site laid out?
Reviews carries the verdicts as reported, Comparativas puts titles against each other, Rendimiento covers performance and hardware requirements, and Precios follows what has been announced about pricing in the region. Noticias is everything in order.
Are the prices in Precios current?
They are as reported. Regional pricing changes with currency and with storefront promotions, and each figure is credited to the source and dated so you can see how stale it may be. The storefront itself is the only current price.
Do you test performance yourselves?
No. Rendimiento reports benchmark figures published by named outlets and developers, attributed to whoever measured them. No hardware is run here and no frame rate is ours.
Are these written by journalists?
They are written with automated assistance from the source reporting and carry no personal byline, with the source publication credited where an author would sit. Sources and methods explains it.
