MOAR REVIEWS!
Posted: May 16th, 2007, 8:48
This forum has the potential to be quite a useful resource, but it could definitely do with more regular reviews being posted. The main area of expansion is probably towards the console side of things, in particular DS, PSP and Wii. Any review is worth doing, even a two-liner. At least it can then be a guide for someone wanting to try it, or a starting point for a discussion about the game.
Therefore, I ask people to post reviews on anything they've tried recently which others may not have played. If you've swept an old game and found it to be fairly entertaining, then chances are someone else will too, so just make a new topic and put in a couple of lines about the game and what you liked about it. Similarly for any games you haven't liked, say what was pants about them. If you're trying a new game and haven't made up your mind about it yet, then post something about your first impressions.
An increasing number of us seem to have various consoles which supplement our PC gaming, and reviews for these games are always welcome. If anything they could be more useful, since someone who has just bought, say, a Wii might then have games brought to their attention which they otherwise may have missed.
A good quality review of a decent game is likely to encourage more people to play it, and so we might find the next Raven Shield or Joint Ops out there somewhere. At the end of the day, 5punk has such a diverse membership in terms of gaming interest that most games will appeal to at least someone here, and so will reviews of them. I'd like to see good-quality reviews of games using the format already suggested, but an initial two-liner on first impressions would be just as welcome!
