    We are a gamer website... Why don't we have a place for game reviews? That would be such a fun section!

    I was thinking about making it possible to comment on roms, perhaps a review could go in there too?

    If you do make that a part of the download section, I'd have to cut my reviewing down. Lol I more rant and rave then review~

    hehe yeah it's important to keep the focus on the review, rant and raving are good in small dosis but if it gets too much you're thought of as a fanboy(or girl)

    Yah unfortunately I'm an extream Fan girl of Xenogears, Xenosaga, and Galerians.... Well ok I don't like Xenosaga it's just that it has soooo much to do with Xenogears that I call myself a fan girl of Xenosaga.

    I would like to know how many would be interested in writing reviews? We're gonna need more than just one person.

    We decided to rather have them added to the site as comments as this is easy to monitor and reward users appropiately.

    I agree with NF. As far as my experience with gaming forums go, a lot of ambitious individuals suggest a game review board. Granted, it's fun. But somewhere down the line people just tend to become too busy with school work or the occasional socialising. We all have a life and it's nobody's fault. But in the end, we're left with a forum that not too many people visit, let alone update.

    The comments thing is a good idea though. Games that people like can be reviewed in a couple of sentences, high points can be exemplified and low points can be left muffled according to the user's taste. Only downside I can see to the comment system though is the fact that commenting can tend to be quite biased - it goes against the idea of a review. But still, it's a start.

    I will like to do the games i play..

    But u will need someone who will read the review, make sure the review do not spoil the storyline unless the few small start, make sure it is up to date and accurate, gramatically correct and good enough to attract people.. I used to write reviews everywhere though...

    But comment is good enough. How do you comment a game Mr Seph?? I am a newbie :mad:

    Um you comment by going to the game on the site. Like this:
    https://www.romulation.org/NDS/1169_-_Black_Cat_Kuroneko_no_Concerto_(J)(Caravan).rar.html

    Then at the very bottom you will see a form to submit a comment.
