@video_game_king: I agree, don't emulate the sarcastic/witty style. But setting yourself apart (even through mere formatting) is key. Really, even if it seems impossible, a writer dead set on setting themselves apart shouldn't follow *any* examples. But, this is probably not the type of conversation OP was wanting!
If you're writing reviews with hopes that a fair number of people will actually read them, then fuck all this structure and boring English class crap. The video game reviewers that stand out in my mind are the people who are unique. Alex uses biting sarcasm so frequently that it's become his identity. Yahtzee has his rant-esque style. This guy appears to be on something when he reviews things. There is that one guy on twitter who types in all caps, all the time. It's just way more interesting than your standard white bread crap.
