|
 |
I have spent some time reading through the reviews section
http://www.nfohump.com/index.php?switchto=reviews
Some of the reviews wrote in there are of a very good standard IMO. All the required info seem's to be there as well as some humor, I have also noticed that the template NFOrce provides for writing a review is very good (especially the varios links for dev's + pub's ect). I think that the review section could be very valuable for people trying to decide if they should *aquire* a certian game. Its a shame there are only a handfull though. I myself was looking to see which new(ish) games had reviews wrote by NFOrce users but noticed there arnt many at all. Ohh well i just wanted to make people aware of the need for some more well writen reviews and hopefully who knows ? (someone may decide to update the section if they have some spare time on their hands).
I have decided to give Escape from butchers bay ago thanks purely to the review wrote by TiTaN_KGB

Closed ?
It dosent seem closed to me. I looked in their yesterday and can post a review using the link (which works as i tried it). Mabey it was closed in the past ? But now if you want to its poss to do a review using the NFOrce template provided.
*edit*
Im gonna try my hand at a review when i get the time. Hopefully later today. I will also know for deffinatly if its poss to post a review because its been stated its closed.

i think the problem with the reviews section is this...
i didnt even know there was one till you mentioned it. seriously, every day i click 'forum', and i SEE 'reviews', but it just doesnt register in my head, so ive never clicked it... probably would have been a bigger success if there was a 'review' button next to the release in the nfo section or something perhaps...

People just check reviews at Gamespot, IGN, etc anyway, or read the minireviews in the forum threads, so there's no point.

Whilst i see where your comming from I also think (for NFOrce user's) it would be good if a review link was there on NFO page as i for one would be intrested to hear what other NFOrce user's think to a certian game. Another reason is i belive the reviews would be more un-biased than other company sites with reviews as we all know what can go on with a dev/pub asking certian site/mag for a decient review in exchange for ????? At least the reviews hear would be done by gamers with nothing to gain by upping the score/review. Just a thought

We could appoint one member that would check the threads of newly released games for nice review/mini-reviews by random member and then just copy/paste the best ones in the reviews section.

Actualy thats a very good idea.
Its just a real shame there are not more reviews. It would br excellent if say a game is released and then within a few days to a week later there was a review also containing know issues ect here @ NFOrce.
Great Idea sYn. Now the hardest part is getting people to take the time to do the reviews. If there were a few people who regulary did them they would become known and the best reviewers would stick out.

I just did a review of the orange box (waiting for approval - bumping this so people realise there is a submission  ) and I just took my opinions expressed in other threads and well made it a bit bigger.
