Community Project: FunsizeReviews

[RKRigney]

Hi guys. I've lurked around these forums for a while without posting but I've always enjoyed reading the stuff here. You guys here at the Escapist are one of the best gaming communities I've ever seen, so it's you and only you that I come to with my project idea.

I think we can all agree that for someone without a lot of time on their hands, reviews are just TOO long. For the busybody, I've started up a little Twitter project called "FunsizeReviews." The idea is that each day, five 140-character reviews will be added to the FunsizeReviews Twitter page, for all it's followers to see. I'd like it to be a good mix of old and new, so that we can get the back catalog filled out nicely in a short enough amount of time. To see what the reviews format looks like, check out the FunsizeReviews Twitter page: https://twitter.com/FunsizeReviews

Anyway, I'm trying to round up some good folks to contribute. I might make it entirely user-run, posting the reviews that have the most in common with the general consensus of critics. I'll have it so that to contribute people can send an email to funsizereviews@gmail.com

So... is anyone interested in the project? I need writers to keep a steady supply of reviews coming, especially for new games.

Sooooo its like a game review on twitter? I don't see how you can have much info on it and I really like indepth reviews.

That's a good point but the fact that there are full reviews out there is the reason this is a good idea. The short description and a good score would get a reader interested, and then they'd feel more inclined to go read a full review.
