It's kind of an art and a science behind writing a helpful review. My first review on the site (since deleted) gave a poor review of a game. I didn't realize it until someone commented that the game was supposed to be bad. And I think it was SpeedIF, which only added to its lack of polish. If you want to write more helpful reviews, read a lot of the more successful ones and find out what makes them good. Certainly, there will be people that tend write very good ones, but that's because they've figured out how to write a great review. To me, a helpful review is one that helps me decide whether or not I should play a game. To say that you liked or disliked a game isn't enough. We might have completely separate tastes. Instead, you could write about the interesting (or dull) aspects of a game and the reasons for which they either worked or didn't work. Also, the author might find a review helpful if it suggested possible fixes to improve the game or his next one. Andreas Teufel, December 21, 2009 - Reply my negative review of an overrated game was bashed ok but if I try and write what I thought and liked about a game in a reasonful manner, and it's a well liked game on top of that, and I get 0/2 on 3 reviews because of personal bias I will not waste time any more |
