- Ability to write to a deadline

I'm curious about this. What kind of deadlines? How long and how regular are they?

As for the sample review, does that need to be for something recent or can it be for anything?

Deadlines include things like GotY articles which need to be written within a week or two of being assigned and game reviews which should be done within a month of the game's release unless there is some reason why not. The review part of this is because we feel that a review much later than that will get hit hard in decreased views, and we are always having to choose between two or more prospective writers for popular games so if you don't write the review in a reasonable amount of time we probably should have assigned it to the other guys who wanted to write it.

Too bad my handwritten would be illegible.

Because my English abilities are astonishing. I would enjoy doing reviews, but since I'm more completionist I wouldn't meet deadlines with the amount of free time I have.

Would be interesting to do this, but I am not capable of doing either part unless I practice first. Good luck to those who try out.

Thanks, that's a pretty good timeframe. What about quantity though? You say at most about a month for a review, is it just one review at a time though or multiple at once?

Ideal is to keep yourself to at least a review a month but I think you can go about 2 months without activity before we start to wonder if you've quit. For months where you don't have any games you want to play you can always write up an article instead.
