Starting on April 21st, Lacen will be launching the =SB= Game Review Page. Contributions are open to all members. Reviews are reserved for Sonic games for now. Reviews for non-Sonic titles will be open for approval some time in the near-future.

Review Layout

Do we submit our reviews to Lacen directly or will there be a designated submission system?

You will have to wait for Lacen to come and answer that question. I don't know how he wants to do it.

Great question. I forgot to clarify. Reviews are to be sent to me via PM.

Having a uniform layout will make it a lot easier for people to write, and read it. It keeps a "professional" feel to it, and will be better for visitors of the forum who want to read them. The word limit was added so It would help bring out better details and more depth to your opinions on each aspect included. The more words, the better the review, in my opinion.

Is this going to be strictly games or can members review things like movies as well? I see it's currently only games but I'm sure others would be willing to do other reviews as well.

Yeah but if it is supposed to have a "professional" feel to it then it should be just that-- professional. But having a free for all where anybody can submit isn't exactly professional. Idk I guess I'm just not cool with the idea of it having to be a specific, set format simply because some people (such as myself) may feel the need to express our opinions in different or even unorthodox ways.

And I get what you're saying about the word limit. But those word limits are considerably small for game reviews. Or is that just me?

For now, I only want game reviews. I want to take some time to create a clean, organized page for reviews. Afterwards, I'll allow reviews of other things. I was hoping games would be enough, but I'll consider movies and music albums for it too.

The website supports the forum, not vise versa, which is why I want open reviews for the members. Member interaction is key on a forum. The "professional" feel I am hoping for is for the sake of the visitors, so they can see what the members can offer other then a good time with discussion on the board. I know for a fact that this board is full of intellectuals. Having a set format won't limit anybody. The format covers key aspects to a review anyway.

And no, it's not just you. The word limit is short on purpose. Of course, you're welcome to go over it. Write a novel if you'd like. The more the better! I just figured having a small word limit would help get enough detail for a decent review, which is all I really hope for.

hmmm.....can there be collaboration reviews? I was just reading this forum and this very idea came up for more than one person to review a game, especially if they know what the title has to offer.

As long as the review has the format, then you can collaborate all you want. Just make sure you list the authors.
