this sounds like a good change. can awards be combined for a single review?

Yep, several awards can be combined. For example a review could receive Editors Choice, Value for $$$ and Gamers Choice all for one item (if we thought it good enough )

this is purely a suggestion however i was thinking about the ranking products, right now its based on purely a 10 point scale for each category, (Price, Performance, and Presentation) To me this is kind of vauge, as in rating it high for price for the specific product or in the category of the product? Same thing goes with performance too, not so much on presentation. To make the rating of the product more understandable i would think it would be better to have something as a price vs performance ratio, quality of the product. Again this is purley a suggestion just wanted to know what the mods and others thought.

Not sure what you mean. The scoring system reflects what we think of the product and how it related price vs performance overall for that product in relation to the market

I don't think we could rank products tbh, or risk ending up having pointless charts that mean nothing

If you could explain further?
