lol

I think Fawn is trying to say that he bought 2 games based on the reviews that he read here?

Anyways, I'm new to writing reviews so my opinion may not carry a lot of weight, but I'd like to see this forum stay.

I read the reviews in here, keep it. I dont think the reviews need to be alphabetized if you know what youre looking for you can always search. I would rather read the latest reviews first as it is now..

i have a suggestion to keep it simple and still let everyone voice their opinion of each game... here goes!  (like duderman suggested)

Have a POLL for each game and people can either post comments or not!

Just list each popular xbox game and delete duplicates of it ... or we will have 20 halo threads,ect!

Poll could be same:
I'd recommend people buying it.
I'd recommend people renting it.
I'd recommend people passing on this one.

Then allow people to  Post comments about this game if they want!

I think the idea of jump starting this room was a good one, but with all the PRO review sites out there and having people summit a Pro Style Review in this room...made it hard to do right...and it still didn't give me a majority slant on game.

P.S. Delete any thread that was a duplicate or dealing with any other subject ... this would be just a Review of xbox Games Room... where you vote, comment, and look to find good games! smile.gif

I like it.  There's probably a lot more browsers than posters and traffic is going to increase and decrease when games are released (we are post Christmas right now so there is a logical downtime).

RGTAA has a decent idea with a single thread for each game and a poll at the top.  Simplify and create some structure.

rgtaa has a great point.  Although I personally have always liked to read reviews by the people who play games and not the people who get paid to play it for five minutes and review it.  Reviews don't have to be about how good you're writing skills are, as long as you give you're honest opinion in a somewhat intellegent manner than it's all good.

Someone should point this thread out to hsdemonz. I don't think he checks it anymore.

In either case, I like the room but would rather have more USER opinions in POLLING type way so I can see what my buddies here think about a game , in masse! smile.gif

I've read  the requests..

The topic layout of news post rises to the top is standad.. and will remain.  Like any other forum on XS.. we expect people to read.. and search (i know search is offline 3 hours per day..) but we only have 70+ topics in this forum.. so it isn't a hardship to do a quick check on the topics.

Polls.. no.  What I wanted when I created this forum.. was just a simple place.. for honest people to post honest reviews.  Not a place to see yet another poll saying HALO is the greetest Game of all time for online play..etc.

99% of all polls on this site have been retarded anyway.

Duderman will be enforcing this forums policy on posts.. and has my support.
