Google star rating for game – SEO

Hello i have a site with flash games and i need to add star rating for each game in google search like for amazon ‘here’ but without review just rating its possible ? google dont punish me for that because its not an article ?

<div itemprop="aggregateRating" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/AggregateRating">
    Rated: <span itemprop="ratingValue">4</span>/<span itemprop="bestRating">5</span>
</div>

I tested the code here https://developers.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/ but i have error

    This is an example of a valid code (not related to games, but you’ll get the idea). You could test it in the tool: 

    <div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Product">
<span itemprop="name">Kenmore White 17" Microwave</span>
<div itemprop="aggregateRating" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/AggregateRating">
Rated <span itemprop="ratingValue">4</span> stars -
Based on <span itemprop="reviewCount">250</span> reviews
</div>
</div>

    Now, you can’t really put whatever you want there. In order to use the star rating you have to put reviewCount or ratingCount. Those are just mandatory.

    There are two problems coming up from the tester

    • it doesn’t know what Thing you are rating, you need to tell it you are rating a game, and what the game is called
    • you gave a best rating but no ratingCount, how many people rated it? If you don’t know set to ‘1’ and use a <meta> tag to hide this

    Use this:

    <div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/VideoGame">
   <a href="http://example.com/supergame1" itemprop="url">Download</a>
   <img alt="Super Game logo" src="/images/screenshots/supergame/cover.jpg"/>

   <div itemprop="aggregateRating" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/AggregateRating">
    Rated: <span itemprop="ratingValue">4</span>/<span itemprop="bestRating">5</span>
    Based on <span itemprop="ratingCount">1</span> rating(s).
   </div>

</div>

    The page http://schema.org/VideoGame has more examples, and google may ask for a few more properties like name or headline for the game. Google can suddenly decide things are compulsory when they were not last month.
