*Huge thank you to GlennThomas for creating all of the banners used in the review threads, including this one, and for all of the average review score pictures*

 

NOTE: No more review threads are being created and the averages are no longer being updated. You are still able to review games. To people thinking of starting them up again, the threads are nowhere near popular enough and it's far too much work for something that doesn't get used.

 

Hello and welcome to the Game reviews Central! Here you will find all things to to with reviews on this site. Want to start writing reviews but need some help on how to write one? Take a look at the 'How to write a Review' section. Also there is a full list of every single review thread on this site, so you can check out all of the game averages, and get started writing your reviews!

The Reviewing Rules

 

  • Please don't post a review without having played the game first!
  • Please don’t post a review unless you have played a lot of hours or have completed the game.
  • Only write about the multiplayer aspect in the ‘Multiplayer Experience’ heading.
  • Please put a description in each section & then rate it out of 10.
  • Do not review on just the trophy aspect of the game.
  • Review what YOU think & don’t be influenced by others.

 

Spoilers: DO NOT write anything that spoils anything to do with the game. Be it story or certain events in the game. People look at the threads to see other people's opinions on the game, they do not want to have the game ruined for them.

 

How to write a Review

 

Here is the template posted in every thread to help you post a review of the game, and some tips on how to write it. You DO NOT NEED to use the Template when reviewing!

 

Story:

This part of the review is for the main story of the game. This part usually on covers the single player/campaign parts of the game, but you may include multiplayer if the story is included in it, such as Assassins Creed Revelations when you progress up the levels. more cut scenes to do with the story are reviled. Write about how you felt about the story, did it make you feel for the characters in it? Is the game worth buying for the story? Answer all of this for the perfect review.

 

Gameplay:

The gameplay is what some would say is the most important part of the game. It is whether the gameplay is enjoyable, meaning did you enjoy playing it, and you also may want to compare it with other games in the same genre. Do you think it improves on certain elements of other games?

 

Controls:

The controls is how you have to play the game. You can put if it feels natural, does it flow smoothly or does it feel awkward to control? Are they easy to pick up on or hard to understand?

 

Graphics:

The graphics part is about how the game looks, and if it suits the type of game. For example Fallout is meant to have a dark gloomy atmosphere to fit the game, do you think the game achieved that? You can also mention about how the lighting is and do people and environments look real.

 

Sound:

Sound is often what immerses you in to the game. Does the sound in this game make you feel that you are really there? You can comment on the soundtrack, if its funny or dull. And also, does the music fit the time the game is set in (if you think that is important to the game)

 

Wow Factor:

Wow Factor is how much you were impressed with the game. Comment on how it improves from the last one in the serious or genre of games it is in. How do you feel when you play it? Did it make you Emotional?

 

Replay Value:

This part is about how much incentive you would have to play the game again. Would it be a fun experience or would it just be a drag? You could also comment here about the trophies, and if they made you carry on playing/re-playing the game for a long time. How many hours did you put into the game?

 

Multiplayer Experience:

As it is quite obvious here, only comment if there is a multiplayer section. Talk about is the online experience is fun or boring, If there is any glitches and how hard or easy it is to play with friends. You can comment on how well the game is balanced, and if you felt that it gives beginners and veterans a even chance of winning in competitive modes. Comment on you overall experience of the online modes.

 

Rent Or Buy This Game?

Pretty simple here. Write whether people should buy this game, or rent it if it is not worth buying. Talk about the deciding factor between renting or buying the game and why.

 

Your Personal Verdict & Your Final Rating:

This is the summary of your review and your final opinion on the game. Use the poll so we can help make averages, and just and in a last couple of sentences on what you think overall, good game or bad game?

Great work so far :D

 

I'll update each thread with some new guidelines and a link to this. Mention somewhere that you dont have to use each ritle template if you dont want to. :)

 

You could get a banner from the image request thread if youd like to.

 

I'll let you know though here or PM for each new thread I create.

 

EDIT: The threads scrubs has created are missing.

Where's Skyrim? Nothing made me rage more than seeing this game in Game Informer as GOTY. Not to mention EVERY staff editor had it in the #1 spot. But ONE GUY had the balls to omit it. He must own a PS3 and/or a brain.

 

Yes, I'm asking for shitty Skyrim reviews. So what.

 

PS: THank you and great idea; I really, really hope the reviews can see success. =]

 

PSS: Hmm, I did not know there even was a Review subforum...

:applause:

 

I don't care how much fun the game is when it works. A game with that many technical problems? Not deserving of awards. Not positive ones anyway. Pick Skyrim for biggest disappointment of 2011, because it's disappointing that they still didn't fix engine problems we've been suffering with since Fallout 3 came out in 2008. Bethesda should not be applauded for this, they should be stoned in the streets. All that talk about a "new" engine and for what? It wasn't a new engine and it didn't fix any problems.

Are you going to be adding review threads to every game?

 

I want to review as many as I can!

No, not anymore old games unless I get a request. Reason being is nobody reviews or only one person reviews and votes 10. Then it's average score becomes 10.

 

Every new game though is getting a thread + most good old games have threads :)

Great effort dudes, congrats, can I suggest something?

 

I think If the admins can create some kind of "Award" for submit a bunch or reviews, off course previously approved for the Review Teams, this "Reviews" can increase really great, isn't it? I mean, if you can give some kind of "incentive" to the ppl, we can have a very great "Reviews-Era".

 

I'm just thinking:

 

5 reviews approved: Bronze Award

10 reviews approved: Silver Award

20 reviews approved: Gold Award

50 reviews approved: Platinum Award

 

:think:

I think thats a good idea, but we would have to keep the review threads going for a bit longer before the staff consider implementing an award system.

This really should've been posted in feedback. There are various reasons why this is unlikely to happen:

 

- A award for full-drawn reviews was rejected

- It would be an absolute bitch to track everyone.

- Approved? Could I just write five words for each section? If there's a limit it will cause all worlds of problems with arguments

- Five is far too low. An award is supposed to mark your contributions on the site and events you have participated in, not something that could be achieved in five minutes. The Platinum could be achieved in less than an hour which is ridiculous.

 

You shouldn't need to be bribed with an award to write a review.
