Hi there.

[Lou1991]

Hello there guys my name is Lewis I was wanting to know on how to get into Game reviewing, could you help me? I will post some reviews up of some of the games that I am currently playing.

This [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/columns/context-sensitive/6631-How-Not-to-Get-a-Job-as-a-Game-Journalist] may get you off on the right track.

Welcome to the Escapist, by the way.

i'm about to do a review on a film (trainspotting) i'll post it up if i'm alowed

Probably in the review section in forumz. ??

Welcome. Since Neonbob already posted A User's Guide to crafting a review, I'll just give you some pointers

-Use Images

-Keep it lengthy, Not too long so that it becomes a wall of text, but enough so you divulge into enough detail.

-2,000 words is a great thing to strive for

-Avoid Number scores. Believe me, we'd rather read what you think then have you just throw out a number.

-Have fun

I think you'll fail horribly, but you are always welcome to try. And it's nothing personal, I'm very cynical. Although your grammar and spelling needs improvement.

I got this one.

*Ahem*

I am MookieMagnus, and I am here to ask you a question. Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? "No" Says the man at Ebay, "it belongs to the poor". "No" says the Man at religioustolerance.org, "it belongs to God". "No" says the man at Youtube, "it belongs to everyone". I rejected those answers. Instead; I chose something different. I chose the Impossible. I chose. The Escapist. With a forum where the opinionated would not fear the censor (within reason), where the Moderators would not be bound by petty morality, where the Gone Gonzo would not be constrained by the troll. And with the ache of your fingers (and perhaps a new keyboard), The Escapist can be yours as well...

Ya ever notice when a cat wakes up after its been sleeping on your lap, its first instinct seems to be finding the only way to stretch that involves burying needle sharp claws into your balls as one would kneed dough? I find it odd. And painful. And I'm bleeding. Bi-Polar Man, AWAY!!!!!






Is he gone? Good, I hate that guy...

Its easier for people to see your talking to them by quoting rather than @.
Welcome to the escapist and read the forum guidelines are the best things you can do

I think you'll fail horribly, but you are always welcome to try. And it's nothing personal, I'm very cynical. Although you grammar and spelling needs improvement.

Hehehe, ironic he mis-spelled "your" when sniping about spelling and grammer.

I'm new here, too Lou, but I have no intention of reviewing things. I'll swing by and check yours out from time to time. Good luck.

Man,that's ingenious. The Breen thing was getting a bit old.

Only one thing - how about "where the unpopular would not fear the censor"? Or is that stretching it?

There's a user review section, but whether it gets noticed by the staff or not is debateable.
