"Ace Gamez"

This is a site that launched in November 2000 with the aim of providing magazine quality reviews online. It's a brilliant site to check out, as there's competitions, news, reviews - the works, with no memberships like IGN. It's very up-to-date, too.

I also happen to work there :D. What happens is they send you the games, you review the games, you keep the games - it's that simple. Of course, you'd need to submit a few reviews out of your own collection to start with and every now and then. At the end of the day though, you're getting sent free games, some times before their release!

I know a lot of people have a passion for reviewing on this site, and seeing as the editors don't have a problem with you submitting your work to other places, you can keep loyal to GAD or Ciao or whatever. The people are scouting for reviewers at the moment - and from someone who works for them, I can safely say it's a win-win situation.

So give it a go. Check out the site, and if you feel like it, apply for a job!

I remember emailing this guy before and he asked me for a sample review of a recent product. I thought it was dodgy and he'd just use my review and say bye bye.

But now many of you say how it is real and stuff I'm pretty interested. Someone tell me about it, how many reviews are you expected to do in say a month?

Uh, that's one idea. No 's' on the end, bub.

And what other just-released games can you think of? Just take a look at the site and their client list. Konami, Sony, Nintendo, Sega, Lucasarts, Eidos...

i was thinking of going in for this.(no point in checking my stats, then reading the 2 well below-my-best reviews on SR) I like the ideas of writing reviews and a few people have said that im good at sporting games reviews and quite good at RPGs and FPS. but is it easy to find the time and remember to write the reviews every week. also the list of games you posted isn't the best set there could be. (absolutely no offence intended)

None whatsoever. But judging by the way he is silent, he loves it and is showing all his mates my writing prowess.

Or not.

Any news, guys?

Kieron Giacopazzi. My last two reviews where for Battlefield 1942 and it's expansion pack Road to Rome for the PC, and I'm writing up another review now for Highland Warriors. I have done a few other reviews as well.
