You Can Review Games for What's it Like!


Ever wanted to be a games reviewer? Yes? SAME! Well now you can! Submit your Review, or topic you want to talk about to 308.ps3@gmail.com

Not confident writing? Don't be! Below is a guide that you don't have to follow, but may help some people when it comes to writing. Also if you have any thoughts or questions I would be more than happy to help you write an article. Everyone has a story or opinion to share so share it!

Firstly, You need to introduce the game. What's its title? Who makes it? Is it a sequel? Does it open strong? What's the story? Game type (Action, FPS, RPG?)

Then you want to cover the graphics. Graphics don't just mean what it looks like. It includes... Are the levels designed well? Are the characters interesting? Is it an immersive setting? Are the weapons and enemies fun to fight?

Then we cover the gameplay. This includes things like puzzles, controls, combat, and variety. Are there many different enemies or obstacles to overcome? Does the game get repetitive? Is it fun and exciting? Does the game play well?

If the game has multiplayer, talk about that. Does it vary from single player? Does it have Co-op play? Is it online only? Does it have split screen? Can you rank up? Is it balanced?

Then we cover the sound and music. Are sounds clear and crisp pulling you into the game world? Does the music help set the scene? Are the ambient background noises well done?

Then you should close your article with a well thought out conclusion summarizing the review.

Scoring. What do you give it out of ten? Also we like to include our "What's it like?" where we compare it to similar games of the genre.

So thats it. You can review new or old games and if you don't want to review, why not send us a topic of discussion?

I look forward to hearing your thoughts on gaming!
