I have two questions...Call me dumb if you want [I don't care you are all in America]

1. How long does a review have to be?
2. Is that you dancing in your avatar IM

You'll get three answers:

1. As long as it needs to be, but don't make it too short.
2. Yes it is.
3. Make your avatar smaller Happy

Yes, that avatar does sort of DIVIDE THE SCREEN INTO TWO HALVES.

Actually, I got rid of the avatar, because it makes the page annoying to read, and probably near-unreadable for those in 800x600 or lower res. But who runs 800x600 or lower anymore?

Me too. Any bigger makes the text too friggin' small for my near-useless eyes.

WTF!!!!!

i didn't change my avatar from that SMALL White box with an "X" in it....the failed picture thing.
Smokin'

The reason the Box was there to start with was because it was supposed to be a pic from a web page. (Admitadly a large one) It must have loaded cause I didn't touch it. Really confused

Sorry about the inconvenience.

[I'm not really sorry, just polite] Oookay...

Alright! Nothing to do with the current thread of conversation!!! When sending a review, I've noticed that most are...well...short. Would writing a review with a breakdown be too damaging to the mediocrity thing they have going, or would it possibly encourage a more aggresive reviewing technique? I normally have the gameplay 5, music 6, sfx 0 due to programming, replayability 4 kind of review (hence the term: BREAKDOWN!)

Acceptable?

Reply! I am off to McDonalds to purchase a Spanish Omlet bagel and 2 hashbrowns, which comes out to a total of $3.35. Killer breakfast, I highly recommend it.

What are you talking about? Have you even read any of the reviews that are up?

Hey I know this is an old topic, but what the heck.

No, he's saying that they're all short. It's like he just ran the bar on the right down the screen on the most recent additions and took it from there. Obviously, if a game has less than fifteen seconds of gameplay a review for it won't be incredibly long. (EDIT: There's actually some new ones up there, with games that have some substance. I was thinking when there were like four reviews of OMG TIZ ROXORZ and mine of Wandering Monkey) Maybe you could try some of the other reviews? Not to mention there already IS a breakdown, including gameplay (and its subsets) and music. It's actually stupid to have a Sound Effects section when there aren't any sound effects. And if there's a lot of replay value, they'll probably say it. Not to mention most RPGs won't be nearly as fun the second time through, at least if they have a decent story with twists and turns. So again, did you even READ any of the reviews?
