The "Freeola Customer Forum" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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.
In the mean time, we will now be allocating Gameaday prizes specifically for "review posts". Providing some decent material is submitted there will be one prize for this per week.
Reviews should be posted in the Reviews Forum. All reviews must be unique (not copied), written by the person who posts them, and based on actual personal experience of the game or movie concerned.
You can post a review even if a review already exists for that game or movie. The more the better.
We may transfer reviews into the new section of our site when it is complete.
Although we are particularly keen to build up game reviews, the reviews entered for movies, books or whatever will still be in the running for prizes. Obscure reviews (i.e. those not likely to be of interest to other site visitors) will score badly.
Reviews will be judged on the basis of:
Interest to the reader
Accuracy and completeness
Writing style, grammar etc
Conclusion and opinion (you won't win if you tell people that a rubbish game is great)
Please don't make them too long-winded.
Go for it.

I agree
Or failing that, a quote of the day (though I could see the staff would probably be too busy for that).
