Review Drive #1

I've noticed that people aren't reviewing as much as they should be. Most of the time, people just comment with "Great 6/10", which doesn't help the creator and doesn't contribute to the overall score. When people do submit reviews, though, they end up either being impossible to read or incredibly short. So I thought it'd be a good idea to have a weekly Review Drive. Every week, I'll pick a game (or two?) to review that hasn't gotten enough love. Hopefully this'll encourage both more and better reviews. This week's game: The mario land Please make your reviews constructive and detailed. Don't just put "CRAP" for something if it's bad. Hopefully this'll catch on, because there's a lot games that should be reviewed and aren't getting the attention they need. Go forth! |

I like reviewing too, but only if the staff could tolerate some spelling mistakes...

Great idea. I had a plan of sorts to start reviewing more on my own, but kept being lazy. Hopefully this will encourage me to do more.

While I do feel this is a good idea, I noticed that before you suggested The mario land, it had four or five reviews. Perhaps you should try to focus on games with no reviews first.

That review idea is a good resolution! How about also adding a stars gadget like Youtube, hm? The more results the more accurate the score.

Actually,reviews are good.They help you realize that the mario land sucks so you don't download it!

Maybe you should pick more than just one or two games (maybe three or four). It's only been a day since this notice was posted and the game has already received nine surprisingly good reviews.

The reason people arent rating is cuz there too lazy to play the whole game. People are REALLY lazy these days.

Yeah apparently the server's being transferred. Stuff's breaking at the moment but no doubt it'll be fixed. No biggie.

There has been a thread posted about it, but its inaccessible due to the transfer, People, Please do not keep clicking refresh. That will only drain the bandwidth. |

Well it seems that the server is back to normal, and thanks to whoever did it, but the links to the forums still do not work?

Post specific examples, or shut up. Files should be fixed now, but if you find some that aren't, generic bitching isn't going to bring them back faster.

So far, this review drive doesn't seem too bad, after all I could use this opportunity to give more constructive criticism. I wonder what game we'll review next.
