We really appreciate you helping out, the only thing I would like to see from the reviews is them being longer, I'd honestly like to see about 500 words or so, how I do my reviews is a quick overview in the first paragraph that tells the average person basically everything they need to know, whether to buy the game or not, then i use each paragraph to detail parts of the game, visuals, audio, single player, multi player, controls, innovations, replayability, etc. You seem to have a good writing style, would be nice to see some that aren't quite so brief. _________________

Yes, they are good reviews but id love to see a little more indepth too.
You dont mind do ya bro??
Just some tips for the mean time.. When submitting a review if you want to add a paragraph or a NEW LINE you will need to put in some html.. I havent finished that area in full.
eg..
Code:
blah blah bnlah blah.. Now i go to new paragraph<br>
<br>
New paragraph starts here.. Apart from that go for it..<Br>
Sorry to make you have to type linebreaks..<Br>
The more i see you posting reviews will make me upgrade the area to make it easier to use for you..
FinalCloud im also think you may need access to the games area and screenshots so the games look nice if they are missing info.
If the game isnt in the drop down box for reviews you could add it easily.
i got years of gaming experiance and would love to help tell me what games need reviewing and ill review keep an eye out cos as above will submit some reviews as per norm, games are my life, its sad but true!!! my dream job would be to work in a games magazine lol!!

Cool cool.. would be nice to see you guys work together..
one with reviews and the other with screenshots and other media..
It's up to you guys really.. I just want you to be interested in what your position is otherwise there is no real point going to all the trouble.
great work so far all..
Let's also make sure you all are active in our forums.
So people get to know you..
The more posts and help you give the more respect obviously you will gain in the end.

That's exactly what I had hoped for when I suggested longer, more indepth reviews. I enjoyed reading it, and as I haven't played the game yet it informed me enough that I'll probably pick it up soon. _________________
