Don't make me block your access to the review forum -_-

And you only see the shortlisted entries :p

The only thing I check is the game they do so  I don't do that same. 

Though the game I'll be doing seems like will take atleast 20 hours >_>..

How does the flow of 3DS review copies look right now?



Just a note (not sure if people have been doing this): With your submission, do mention that you are a member of VGC, and mention your username. It's just nice to know, and we do like to know we're recruiting from the community.

Yep.

Good since I saw there wasn't anything I wanted on XBL that came out in the last 2 months and today only SHUMP's came out >_>

It's a real shame that you're looking for the systems and categories you are, becuase they seem to be collectively the least played in my repetoire.  

I don't have or want a 3DS, mostly because I found it to be a royal pain in the neck/headache making it nigh unplayable without turning the 3D slider down to minimum.  I got a DS at launch and have dozens of games for it, so it's not like I'm anti-DS, I just feel the 3DS was a real misfire and kind of a flop as far as quality is concerned. 

my Wii is currently at my Girlfriend's place, and she went away to college so I won't be getting that back any time soon.  Plus all the Wii games that I'd want to play are ones everyon else would get to first. 

I could do PSN/XBL games, I love getting downloaded stuff a lot, but I find I'm not as knowledgeable about those games compared to the big budgeted games. 

I completely lack a gaming PC rig.  I was able to play Left 4 Dead 2 and Portal 2 with no issues, but I wouldn't be able to play crysis if my life depended on it. 

I'm a little biased against sports games (not a fanboy, I just avoid the genre like the plague) 

I like Shooters, but I'm pretty picky, and have quirky opinions on the genre (I felt bulletstorm was an infinitely more fun and enjoyable game than Halo)

I love fighting games but just suck at them, so I don't feel I'd be a good reviewer of them. The same thing goes for Puzzle games and Strategy games (portal being a notable exception) 

I like Western RPG's, but most of the good ones (elder Scrolls, Mass Effect, etc) are going to be taken care of by more experienced reviwers.  

The more I look back at it, the more I think I may be a little picky, but the truth is I own more games of more varied genres than anyone I know.  I have about 50 PS3 games, 25 360 games, 20 Wii games, 25 DS games, and a mere 15 PSP games (working on getting that higher).  Regardless, I will happily put in an application to review, I just want to write and do so with purpose, I don't even need money! (I'd be happy to review for games!)

Nothing for 3DS at the moment, we're relying on what the team buy.


Ha! Good luck with that -_-

You own all current gen platforms and you've somehow managed to try and talk yourself out of being useful xD

If your worry is us not having a space for someone with those platforms and that genre taste then I don't think you need to be worried at all.


Which is doubly hilarious becuase I recently wrote an editorial about how most modern gamers are too picky and don't give enough genres a chance, resulting in the community being segregated (PC Elitists, Graphics Whores, Casual crowd, College Shooter crowd, etc).  I swear, ALL the things here are on the bottom of my list.  I have Action, Adventure, Platformer, Western and Japanese Style RPG's, dozens of shooters, Rythm games out the wazoo, and even a few fighting games.  

Like I said, very funny that my least favorite genres (Sports games, Racing games) and the genres I suck at (puzzle games, Strategy Games, Fighting games) are the ones you need most.  It's not that I won't play them, it's that I'm not good at them.  

That said, I plan on getting the next Wii and PSP asap, and if I had the cash I'd have gotten a 3DS by now, I just can't justify it with so few quality games and the headaches/neck aches it causes.  (this is from a consumer standpoint, not a professional one, there is a difference.  Of course, all of what I've said has been from a consumer's perspective as opposed to a professional one.  Lots of people do things they don't want to for the sake of getting their name out there.  

When it's all said and done, I think my ramblings are negligible, fairly certain I've already talked anyone out of considering me for a position regardless of the quality of my reviews.
