The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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.
I wanted to know who was the best customer games reviewer on this forum- I think my best reviews were for ZOE, Final Fantasy IX, GT3, Devil May Cry, Shadow of Memories and a few others. Let me know what you think and also, say why you think you are the best reviewer.
P.S I have won gameaday twice for reviews.

Thats a way you can put it- and I know theres a fine line between plagerism and research and I bloody know it considering how strict they are at uni with coursework. What I do is use the facts from the game e.g. the characters names in an RPG for example- I DONT COPY. Im not a person to cheat and I am very hurt that someone would say that I was cheating. I just wanted to make this crystal clear. If you dont believe me, get one of my reviews and go to www.gamespot.com (use GT3 for example). Youll see that they are not the same, therefore I DO NOT CHEAT to win a prize. Its not satisfying that way.

To be honest I don't tend to read too many reviews if they didn't win gameaday, I never take other peoples advice on which game to get. I either really want it so I buy it or I rent it from Blockbuster or the videogames man in town...I also like pb's work, he makes me laugh, FM is funny aswell.
I hate these reviews that go on...and on.....and on....etc....people go into every little detail which can spoil the game. If I can see that a reviews covers all the areas of the game including a comment I read it...Shortish ones are good! Long ones are boring...'A Mon Avis'

No offence intended, but isn't that just plagiarism? Using someone elses review to get the facts on a game, then putting them into your own review, rather than actually playing a game yourself and giving your own opinion?
I won for a review of the playable GT3 demo, and it was literally all my own work; I took everything from the demo after I'd played it. I didn't get any info from web sites, I just related my experience.

I think I am a good reviewer but I write my reviews at the wrong time,for the wrong console(PS)or too close together. I admire Ant,Er-No and PB's work:)
My favourite reviewer for games is actually pb, if I'm thinking of buying a game, most times pb has reviewed it, so I'm used to his style. So far he has never let me down, his points are all well made, but more importantly he's always spot on, we must have the same tastes in games.
Other reviewers that have stood out in the past are Sniper's Final Fantasy IX review, and apoc's review of Spawn, they were quality pieces of writing.
