Actually, I see the points that omoneru and BenKenobi88 were making. On one hand, increased user input sounds good- the catch is making it work. At the very least, each major game seems to have its own thread. A link to a personal review could be given however:
1. you can already state your opinion in the thread
2. Reviews on personal sites can vary widely in quality and content. On my yahoo 360 page I did a trial post that was a review of Gamefly so that I could see how the site worked. It was not the finest writing I have ever done
3. Linking to a personal site is a way to include inflammatory comments while trying to avoid forum oversight.
