Features!

Besides general industry news and opinion pieces I will have game reviews. Now the vast majority of the reviewed games will be for the XBOX 360 console. That being said in 2-3 months I hope to branch out into the PS3 and PC world.

Game Reviews: Roughly 2-3 times a month I will review a recently released game and tell you what I think. Hopefully my lack of connection to the video game establishment will allow me to give a useful and truthful review of the game (as opposed to the rather pointless and exaggerated reviews that come out of the major gaming publications and web sites).

NOTE: Old School refers to games that have been out on the market for at least 12 months. These games are games you may have missed. XBL Reviews are Xbox Live Arcade games.

Verses: Two similar games are reviewed to see which one is better.

Both Verses and my game reviews use the following marking system.

Review Scoring

-Gameplay = 50%

-Graphics = 25%

-Sound = 15%

-Value/Replayability = 10%

Final Rating (The games score based on the above factors)

Now I personally think that the review itself (ie all those boring words and researched facts that take hours to compile) is more important then the score, but even I am guilty of skipping to the score right away, so I will try to give the score the same care as the review.

From time to time I will have a guest reviewer come on. I will accept anyone regardless of experience or age (so long as they are 14+). But two things have to be clear. The guest will not receive any compensation (ie money) for their review (do not worry you will receive the credit) . And I reserve the right to reject any articles submitted to me if they do not meet quality control standards.

Now that the boring details are done I hope you find my blog informative and entertaining.
