The Geek tends to be focused on the games everyone loves, or occasionally the games everyone hates. But what about the games "everyone" agrees are just sort of mediocre. This list catalogs the games that very uniformly get ratings of 4, 5 or 6 and relatively infrequently outside this bound.

Specifically, the games are those where the average plus standard deviation is under 7 and the average minus a standard deviation is above 4. For games with a gaussian rating distributions, this means roughly 68% of the ratings fall between 4 and 7. Game ratings don't tend to be quite gaussian, but they're close. In most cases, these games earn almost no 10s and almost no 1s. In many cases, they're even more tightly grouped around the center. Games have to be rated by at least 125 people to get on the list.

So, where are the strong opinions, positive or negative, on these games? Or will everyone just say "Enh, they're ok."?

Games are listed in average rating order, starting with the "best of the mediocre".
