I completely agree. Never been too fond of that big 'E' as demonstrated below.
What if on downloads, rather then just a x/5 stars category, we had all of the categories (gameplay, music, etc) available as options when posting a comment (only the x/5 overall would count towards the games rating). That way, we could post useful feedback towards the elements of the games we felt were strong/weak, with a simple graphic rather then having to write an entire minimum-length'd review. So even though it wouldn't count towards any tally, they could just give commentators an option for constructive criticism.
For example, below "[x] Rate Download *****"
we could have:
"[x] Presentation *****"
"[x] Gameplay *****"
"[x] Graphics *****"
"[x] Sound and Music *****"
"[x] Lastability *****"
Just make sure to keep all of these categories optional; we could pick and choose which ones we wanted to rate on. If everyone was forced to rate all 5 categories on every comment just to put an X/5 overall score down, most people would opt not to rate at all. This way we could choose to rate individually any of those categories.
Why not have a selection of 'classic' games hosted on TDC's server and have them randomly show up on the front page?
Or instead of having them permanently hosted, why not upload a new game each week and have a little link on the side bar on the front page. But make sure they are 1 or 2 years old.
or even demos of games that were never completed but are still worthy of classic status?
