"Remember me?"
Posts: 6,124
Paul (Phuzzy) recently appointed me as head of Xbox section at his website, www.synae.com. But at the moment, I am the only regular Xbox reviewer on the site, which is difficult for me as I also have to update and research any news and keep the Game of the Week and Latest Releases parts updated... as well as playing the games, bugging PR contacts for interviews, sleeping, going to work and keeping my personal hygiene levels at a respectable level.

So I need reviewers.

I'm looking for 2 people who are willing to do a few reviews a month and stay commited to the task. If you're going to do a few reviews after I first "appoint" you and then call it a day, you're going to upset me.

*cries*

Anyway, if you're interested, email me at [email protected] and I'll reply as quickly as I can with full details.

Cheers.

P.S. Apologies to Special Reserve if this violates their "don't advertise other websites on our forums" rule. I assume that only refers to commercial sites, but just to cover my back I fully understand if this thread gets deleted. Just don't ban me. :P

Lol Indeed, the somewhat lack of non-Nintendo articles is the fact that alot if not all of the reviewers either a) have a GBA, b) have a GC or c) are Nintendo-only.

That why Dark Mark, quite the Xboxer, is good, and some PC/PS2 folk would also be nice to boost the numbers.

For some reason, most PS2 & GC folk prefer writing GC reviews.

I don't mean to be mean - But the site seems to show quite a lot of Nintendo bias. Maybe you could make it a little more in favour of all consoles?

Even the poll only contains GC games lol!

I like it!

But I don't get the benefit of the site due to my stupid resolution.

Don't worry though - Getting the bits for my new computer and then i'm gonna build it.

I'd be interested in making a "Build your own gaming machine" article if you did introduce a PC section.

PC eh?

I was contemplating, and I've done the images and such, it'd just be a case of implementing it.

Oh, like the new Synae.com homepage? I've tried to fill it and make things smaller to make it look more filled, as phi11ip suggested.

Phuzzy - Give the link to popular gaming sites.

Eg cube-europe/team xbox etc.

And get a PC gaming section aswell. I'd be interested in that.

Avast.

Whitestripes, I think our scores are realistic, and it's up to reviewer and what they think. Also, people don't generally buy poo games, so we don't review them.

As for the spaced out thing, I agree. Thats why I'm trying to make it all look a lot tighter, so watch this space.

And finally, as for games to review, I am trying : companies have been contacted, but it's difficult only a few months in to get developers and publishers to essentially give away games to a site they may not have heard of.
