User reviews

I love writing reviews. I've picked up the habit of writing a review for a game after completing it for the first time. I don't think I'll ever turn into a professional review writer (though the Giantbomb crew makes it look as though it's really fun) but I still want my reviews to have some quality to them. The point of this blog; I want to find others who like writing user reviews. If you're interested, leave a link to your review page so that I can read and comment on them. In return, I'd like you to tell me what you think of my reviews as well. The goal is to improve our reviews. :)
 
Here's my review page, and for good measure, here's Sunking's, someone I've been trading comments on reviews with and who writes truly excellent reviews. Check him out as well if you like.

I haven't written many reviews on Giant Bomb, but I think my Left 4 Dead review is pretty good

Oh, crap, I have to get back to that! *remembers dusty notes on Panzer Dragoon Saga review* Anyway, just treat my blog as a series of user reviews until I get back to actual reviews.

I think my Left 4 Dead review is pretty good. It got feature on the site a few weeks ago.

I've wrote a few, my problem is, if I'm writing them properly I'll take my time in writing it, and try to be casual but formal in my typing, so a proper one takes a while, I'm writing a shadow complex one at the moment, when It's done I'll link you to it. And I'll read a few of yours in return, I'll be away for a week or so but when I get back I'll get on it.

I really like writing reviews. But I guess I suck at them.

And in turn, I ripped off your style and did almost the exact same thing with my blogs, although I also wrote a review for Banjo-Kazooie on XBLA when that first came out. "

I like too many games to be good at writing reviews. All my reviews would basically say, "I like this and this, and this, and this. Oh and this is a really cool feature. What a wicked game." Especially towards RPGs.

Always enjoyed your reviews. I hope you keep them up. Sorry if I haven't commented.

@Joseppie: No problem. Your reviews are great too. :p  Anyway, currently writing a Shadow Complex review, which should be put up shortly.

Just put up my Shadow Complex review. Let me know what you think guys.

I don't mind writing a review on new releases especially if i finish them very early as i feel it benefits other gamers more when everything is still so new.  I also feel that a shorter review covering all points is best to give people an impression of what they're getting into.  I for one will not sit at my PC writing a lvl 400 english review though as it's not worth my time and i've had to do to much of that already...
 
WRITE IT > POST IT > READ IT > BOOOOM

I never write that much for a review, because I feel that if I was to share all of my thoughts I would never stop writing. So I usually write only a few paragraphs. I mostly do it for my own pleasure, since I figure no one's going to read them anyway (another reason why I don't write a lot).

I just put up a new review, for Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. Let me know what you guys think.

I've written a review for Left 4 Dead and I also wrote one for Batman: Arkham Asylum. I love feedback, whether it be negative or positive, so please let me know what you guys think!

I write reviews for most games that I play to completion, ranging normally between 800 and 1200 words depending on complexity.  Naturally most of my reviews are positive, because without a fat paycheck and a free copy of said game for doing so, I just don't have the disposable income nor the iron will to delve into lackluster titles.   
 
It actually is my aspiration to become a professional games enthusiast, but I certainly approach it from a realistic perspective.  Chances are that it's a gig I'm not going to land, and so I have plenty of back-up plans.  First things first, though: getting that pesky English degree out of the way. 
 
If you guys want to jump over and read some of my stuff via my profile and give me some comments and/or feedback (recommendations), please do so.  I always love to know that people are reading my writing. 

I have only written one on giantbomb it was for Dark Sector. I had a heap on gamespot though.

I've written one:

Enjoy - its on Red Faction Guerrilla

I'm actually looking into getting into the business myself. I typically write short reviews seein as how long user reviews are typically filled with information that readers got from official reviews. I read some of yours are they're pretty good. Keep in touch.
