I've noticed that on the main site, people aren't reviewing as much as they should be. Most of the time, people just comment with "Great 6/10", which doesn't help the creator and doesn't contribute to the overall score. When people do submit reviews, though, they end up either being impossible to read or incredibly short.

So I thought it'd be a good idea to have a weekly Review Drive. Every week, I'll pick a game (or two?) to review that hasn't gotten enough love. Hopefully this'll encourage both more and better reviews.

This week's game: The mario land

Please make your reviews constructive and detailed. Don't just put "CRAP" for something if it's bad.

Hopefully this'll catch on, because there's a lot games that should be reviewed and aren't getting the attention they need. Go forth!

I tried once, but it was reject because of spelling mistakes, and that made me REALLY sad, so i guess i'll never be able to do reviews, even if they have minor spelling (not typos, such as Door=Dorr, but SPELLING MISTAKES, such as "She are", "I is" and such) mistakes sad.gif

I haven't reviewed in ages. I did want to review all of the games that didn't have any reviews on them, at least.

From the comments, I have this feeling this game gets no love for a reason...
But well, probably worth a look nevertheless...

Also: the maker of this game knows that the game sucks and was submitted over a year before it was accepted, so I don't think he'll be THAT happy about a few new bad reviews.

Yeah, it's not too great of a game, but it needs more than a single just-okay review.

Seeing as I sort of promised myself that I'd contribute more to this site, I might give this a try sometime.

As I commented on the main site, this is a very good idea.

If people review in response to these drives enthusiastically enough (i.e., reviewing the majority of games that are "put up" in these drives for review), is there any chance of said people getting a "Super Reviewer" badge? Just asking because it might seem more appropriate to you guys if people only got that badge for going out of their way to review without being requested to do each one first.

Super Reviewers are handed out to those who review alot and when they do, the reviews are detailed, and very thorough. They should have reasoning as well. People should just review alot, and make sense.

If this is their first time, I doubt they will, really.

Good idea, though!

EDIT: Whoops, forgot a detail. I'm sure the 'Super Reviewer' will go out of their way to review hidden treasures. Besides, drives won't be like every day, so drivers can't just get it off of that.

Er, yeah, that too. I guess I didn't think out my post very well, because I just assumed that for whatever reason.

I guess it was because I myself don't submit a review unless it's very detailed and thorough, or something.

I'm keeping track of everyone who submits, in case there's enough reviews to warrant a badge. That's a lot though.

I just don't have time anymore. I wish I could find some though, but I'll be busy reviewing movies if anything.

My first review!

A little too short, but keep at it. Look at some of the other reviews to get an idea for length.

Already 11 new reviews going up for this game. At this rate we could probably do two a week.

Yeah, I attempted to give constructive criticism and all, but reviewing?

Too many gray issues for me, and yes I have submitted some before.
