How does the community feel about authors reviewing their own game? I have thought about putting in a review of my game, but is there anything I should or should not do? Right now I look at each of the parts of the game, talk about what I like and don't like about them, while explaining what it is I wanted to achieve. Is a game review really the place to do this kind of thing?

I reviewed the old Hoshima, but the Average Grade was affected because I forgot that the game was put under the Sir Phoenix Drake profile.

Just be careful not to over promote your game, if you do it will not be accepted. I tried once a while back...not going back.

I wanted to write my own review for my Zelda game, but I didn't want to rock the boat anymore than I already had done. If I ever do make a review for my game It'd be to explain the game more in depth and maybe give a few hints. I'd leave the question of how good the game is to the rest of CP.

In my opinion, author reviewing his own games??? That's quite lousy thing to do. Preview is not bad, it might be even neccessary, but review. I think reviews are needed to leave to other players. It's criticism for heavens sake. Self-criticism... It doesn't to belong in gaming world. Mostly...

When I reviewed Halloween Quest, I tried my best to talk about the good and the bad things. However, I think it's a great thing to review your own game. It's like a director's commentary or something.

To me, this is merely the difference between a review and an author's note.
