I can't see an email address on the Bombcast page so I guess you ask them here?

I know you guys are former Gamespot folk and Dave is awesome and wish'd he would do some PC reviews and Gamespot was very non biased and clinical about their reviews, so do you stay true to that or do you just say how you feel? I ask because if I do a review then I do it for myself so I can look back in a few years and have memories and games I might want to play again. Also I often find myself thinking "the good old days" but if I remember the good old days were really bad and thats just nostalgia taking over. For example I used to think how Ultima Online was teh shit but when I ctually thought about it, suddenly it was like noo... that game was buggy and frustrating as hell. So I often do personal reviews just to keep my mind in check so I don't end up in that trap.

However this is a site for everyone so you can't be that personal with your reviews and I would just like to know the whole process in writing and making a review.

You mean the official reviews? Or user reviews?

"While we don't believe any game is perfect, we recommend this game without reservation."

I'd check out the FAQ under the help tab. They go into this stuff in detail.

Snide *should* do PC reviews. He understands that shit. It's cool that they got Andy to review WotLK, should do stuff like that more often. Review The Witcher: EE or something.
