Of all the days to choose to publish this: Holocaust Remembrance Day. Political incorrectness, I am doing it RIGHT!
So, seeing as I am going to review God of War for PS2 in a bit, I felt it was an idea to write down the format I've chosen for my reviews.
It's all fairly simple:
Gameplay and Controls Self-explanatory. Here I go through the game in itself; how it plays, puzzles and similar. I also go through controls, whether they are responsive or a flaming pile of arse.
Graphics and Sound How the game looks and sounds. Nothing more, nothing less. Usually rated in relation to its platform.
Story Also known as "why am I doing this?" or "why am I here?". If there's any kind f mythological creatures and such involved, this will get dissected here.
Summary Pros and cons served up against each other with a final summation of whether the game was worth the hours it took to get through it.
And I will not give scores! Mostly because I suffer from a severe, life-long case of "cannot be arsed", but also because I think people should read the review and not just glue their eyes to a numerical score. Two games can get the same score on GameSpot from my experience, but have vastly different pros and cons.
This is more as an aid to memory for myself, so pay no attention to it if you don't want to.
