david.dakota Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 I was thinking about the various review sites dotted around, including NE,and happened to stumble over an idea. Why don't our Forumites join in with reviews? Formumers do occasionally have a word to say about Nintendo products! I don't know whether its technically possible, but could each and every game be reviewed by NE also contain the Forumer's average score, perhaps updated on the main site as each new forumite adds their own score? A true reflection of how a game is doing (and hopefully, it might persuade some of the more casual gamers to try something apart from Carnival Games and WiiSports rip offs!!) I've obviously marked this as a message to staff, however, all forum members coule leave their views and thoughts on this subject here too.
Tellyn Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 I love that idea, I'll pass it on and we'll watch for any more feedback.
MadDog Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Yeh that sounds ace. More of an overall opinion on a game
Patch Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 I give this idea a score of 9.5 (Excellent). It would be best to automate it somehow. Perhaps with a poll? 0-9%, 10-19%, 20-29% etc...?
Guest Jordan Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Thanks for the suggestion. We have BIG things coming up this year, so watch the main site for developments . Oh and i'm not being OTT, they're big
flameboy Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 you mean like how IGN and 1up have the review score and then the readers average? its a good idea, one that will get discussed.
Tellyn Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Thanks for the suggestion. We have BIG things coming up this year, so watch the main site for developments . Oh and i'm not being OTT, they're big The King of Fun is not one to be over the top. If The KOF says it's gonna be huge, it's gonna be mega huge.
david.dakota Posted March 4, 2008 Author Posted March 4, 2008 C'mon staff, surely your loyal readers deserve some hints on your "big ideas"! You've got my interest!
Tellyn Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 C'mon staff, surely your loyal readers deserve some hints on your "big ideas"! You've got my interest! Not a chance. You'll have to be good little munchkins and wait. And whilst you're all waiting: post on the bloody main site.
The fish Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 The King of Fun is not one to be over the top. If The KOF says it's gonna be huge, it's gonna be mega huge. The one exception to that rule, of course, is his penis... I personally like the idea, perhaps have a chance for people on the forums to comment, and then a couple of good ones are added into the review as "2nd opinions".
Tellyn Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Yeah we've done second opinions in a few reviews, we should do it more.
LazyBoy Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 And whilst you're all waiting: post on the bloody main site. I know you guys think your work is unappreciated because few of us forumers post under the main article, but we do read the stuff, it's just more convenient to post here. I don't know if this is possible but why can't you mirror the comments in the forums (i.e. if you have a review of a game to link it to the official thread), and have them under the article.

I can't wait for the entire smash bros topic to be pasted under the review!
dwarf Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 This is the sort of idea that everyone sort of thinks is plainly obvious after it has been brought up. Maybe there should be somewhere on the Wii board where select members can write a review of a game no-one else has reviewed, by request.
