| kn said: There are too many reviewers out there. I think there are a handful or so that everyone can agree generally do a good job. I think the specific ones like OXM, PSM, etc. shouldn't be used... IGN, Gamespot, Edge, Play, Game Informer, and a couple of others. That would be "industry reviews" I would also like a "user reviews" as well. The problem with user reviews is people just put in random stuff as a fanboy and say Oh Boyz Dis Game is da booooooomb 10+++. Insead of allowing that, create 4 or 5 categories with radio buttons on them. Say Graphics, Gameplay, Story, Sound, Control. 1-5 buttons. Also REQUIRE a short paragraph describing the review -- some minimum number of words to force the person to think about their review and then 2 boxes that must be filled in for both pluses and minuses. That way people won't just jump in head first. Allow the mods to delete obvious flamebait and crap where people just put random rubbish into the database. I'd be happy to be a mod to help on this one as I have quite a few recent titles for the 360 and have played a bunch. I'd both enter reviews and grab the data from other sites as I enjoy reading other reviews... |
Great idea, but you can't have a story category for multiplayer games, I would say these should be the categories
Graphics
Sound
Gameplay
Lasting Appeal
Story adds to the gameplay, and IGN uses presentation, but I am not entirely sure what this really means
add me
