View Full Version : A reviewer is me!

I've taken up a staff position at a gaming website called GameStyle. My (unpaid) job is to write reviews and feature articles, and my first review (Onimusha 3) has just been posted on the site! Woo! It's currently on the site's front page.

I have two more reviews (Jak 3 and Spyro: Hero's Tail) in the pipeline, and they're currently being processed by the editor. Eventually I'll be eligible for review code from the developers - currently, as a newbie, I've got to prove myself capable of the position, so I've only been able to review titles that have been out for a while now.

The review's been edited a bit in terms of style and vocabulary (which was the cause of a fair bit of narkiness between me and the editor before we hammered out a compromise), as my style is a little more caustic than the house style. It's still got enough of my essence in it to be obvious that I wrote it, though.

Another thing I made, not worth a thread of its own: Uncle Mudge's Lemon-Scented Wipes (http://www.deviantart.com/view/17030643/). Not safe for work - contains many many naughty words.
