How about showing the:

Top cheaters (those who have posted the most cheats)

and

Top reviewers (Those who have posted the most reviews)?

I'd like to see who's on top and that would encourage more people to add their cheats and reviews!

Not necessarily. Let's have some examples.
1) Conker's bad fur day. Around 15-20 hours of gameplay in single playe rmode before you finish it. As to whether it's a game worth buying, I think you'll find that most will agree it is.
2) Lylat wars (still frsh in my memory from goatboys criticism's of it). Can be finished in a rental, but still is a great game, with a good multiplayer mode.
3) Any other multiplayer based game. You could complete Mario Kart 64 in a rental. You could finish Extreme-G in a rental (it's not hard once you're used to the controls).
4) Shadowman (five day rental though). Completed this in a rental, but it's still a good game.

Are the above games worth releasing? Obviously not...

I reckon we should be able to review older games which aren't sold by SR anymore (cos you can still find some games in the shops! I had to by Super Mario Bros DX elsewhere cos SR don't stock it)

That way it'd be fairer for those who either only have older consoles, or can't afford any newer ones.

I just noticed the title of this topic...if anyone is a bit slow off the mark....it should say 'Just a quick thought...'

I was tired when I typed it.

Yeah you can, if you complete the game that you rented.

You really think you can base a review on a rental?
