Rotten Tomatoes is a website devoted to reviews, information, and news of movies and video games.

Once found, the staff uses the aggregate data to determine if the review is positive ("fresh", marked by a small icon of a red tomato) or negative ("rotten", marked by a small icon of a green splatted tomato).
