The "Retro Game Reviews" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
...Again!
UNACCEPTABLE...
1) Three lines about how "grate dis game iz, u shud by it"
2) Blatantly copying and pasting someone else's review from another site.
3) Badly editing someone else's review from another site to make it look like your own.
ACCEPTABLE...
1) A considered, well thought out appraisal of a game, including opinion on controls, graphics, gameplay, sound, storyline etc.
2) Your OWN opinions, NOT someone else's...
I'm not really sure where this is difficult to understand. If you've played the game that you intend to review, then surely you have formed an opinion of it? Why on earth do you need to copy opinion from elsewhere?
And to be entirely clear...
NONE of the UNACCEPTABLE methods will EVER win a prize...

I really think a word count should be implemented solely on the review forum, when creating a new thread (obviously not for posts!)
Yes, quantity doesn't equal quality. But in the same respect, there's certainly a limit as to how little you can get away with writing. I don't think you can fully explain a game in say less than 500 words, so a word count could do wonders for permanently getting rid of the dreaded one-liners that have plagued the forum for years.
Not sure how easy it would be to implement into the forum, but a suggestion nonetheless.
It's appreciated for posting this though :-)

Just need to re-post this at the start of every school holiday :)
