Something I really should have added a long time ago... the two categories I added are the ones I'd potentially use. Want any others and either add them or ask (if you're not a mod/admin).

May I present...

The Wii Reviews forum is now open for business. If you can pull yourself away from that blasted Wii-mote (or if the batteries die and you need to wiat and recharge them), do yourself and all of us a favor and post a review or two about what you've been playing.

Appropriateness of posting reviews first posted here elsewhere...

Gamefaqs, for instance... I mean, I know it's fine, because of my loyalty to this place I'd rather think 'I'd rather keep them just here'... but with the size of our userbase... I don't know...

Old Reviews

I don't believe that all of these have been converted... though most of the non-converted ones are by members who either don't post anymore or don't bother with stuff like reviews anymore, so I don't see them being posted here soon unless someone else does it and says who the actual author was.

Rules and Regulations of the Review Forum (Please read before writing any reviews)

Welcome to the TendoCity Reviews Forum. I am EdenMaster, The Review King, and I'll be your host tonight. If you care to post any reiews, there are a few rules and standards to which we would like you to abide.

1. Limited replying - Replies to reviews are allowed, but only on the condition that the replies and ensuing banter pertain to the reviewed game (or even series, such as comparing a game to it's predecessor or sequel). All off-topic posts will be deleted.

2. Minimum length - Reviews should not be curt, tiny little paragraphs about the game. We want detail. A minimum of about 500 words is sufficient. I probably won't be strict on that number, but enough to fill a page should be fine. Any that I deem too short will be requested to be lengthened, or I will delete them. There is no maximum length, so go nuts.

3. Paragraph format - We would prefer reviews tohave a set format. We want to see what attributes the game has. Sound, gameplay, graphics, replayablity, story. Break it down. There won't be any set categories to reviw a game under, but the ones I mentioned are the usual ones to focus on.

4. Scoring - We request that at end of your review, you summarize the game briefly and score the game. The scoring system will consist of a scale of 0.0 to 10.0, obviously with 0 as the lowest, and 10 as the highest. A score of 7 or so is about an average game. Also, though it may be difficult, try to be objective. While you may think of a game as the best in the world, think hard to come up with anything that you don't like, as it may be an important factor for those considering purchasing the game. We prefer that you score the games you review, if you do not wish to score a game all, it's not a requirement.

5. Title - Please make the title of your reviews limited to the name of the game and nothing more. for indexing purposes, having a review with the title "My Halo Review" just makes things difficult.

Any new rules that may need added, will be. For now, please abide by these guidelines. Thank you.
