After their "update" and redesign where they killed usability and simply removed pages of game reviews without a trace, I don't think anyone is taking Metacritic seriously anymore. The site is pretty much ruined. A website like gamestats.com looks more clean in its design and is also much easier to navigate, imo. That's a site you should pay more attention to.</p> <p>About reviews and consistency. Preferably it would be best if all games were reviewed by at least two reviewers where the average score would count?</p> <p>Sorry for being off topic. </p> http://www.pspminis.com/forums/topic/looking-for-community-writers#post-3294 Thu, 16 Sep 2010 02:50:30 +0000 Slimwiggins 3294@http://www.pspminis.com/forums/ <p>I agree. I visit this site at least twice a week. It will be nice when the details get flushed out and provide a more consistent experience. </p> http://www.pspminis.com/forums/topic/looking-for-community-writers#post-3285 Wed, 15 Sep 2010 17:46:26 +0000 onmode-ky 3285@http://www.pspminis.com/forums/ <p><blockquote>That's a great idea.

As is, different reviewers on the site don't seem to assign scores the same way, even though they're all on a 10-point scale. </p> http://www.pspminis.com/forums/topic/looking-for-community-writers#post-3272 Wed, 15 Sep 2010 11:36:21 +0000 volcane 3272@http://www.pspminis.com/forums/ <p><em><blockquote>You should also consider a structured review system with a breakdown of what your scores mean. </blockquote></em></p> <p>That's a great idea.

If PSPminis.com is going to be taken more seriously by Metacritic and the wider gaming community, it needs an editor who can spot the smallest of typos and grammatical errors. I love the community here at PSPminis.com, but the copywriting is currently way under par.</p> <p>You should also consider a structured review system with a breakdown of what your scores mean. Being the only site dedicated to minis, you have quite a big responsibility to provide consistent reviews for all the indys coming through. </p> http://www.pspminis.com/forums/topic/looking-for-community-writers#post-3259 Tue, 14 Sep 2010 20:11:35 +0000 onmode-ky 3259@http://www.pspminis.com/forums/ <p>I would happily offer my services as a proofreader, but not a writer.

If they get something (like the PSN account with the Minis), they might be more devoted. Also, reading the reviews and deciding which will make it on the home page would take more time then simply having another person write reviews. But yes, I believe what you said would work too. It's really up to Chris, though. </p> http://www.pspminis.com/forums/topic/looking-for-community-writers#post-717 Sat, 06 Mar 2010 00:28:34 +0000 JeremyR 717@http://www.pspminis.com/forums/ <p>Another option would be to take simply review submissions from people to help pad out the main posts. </p> http://www.pspminis.com/forums/topic/looking-for-community-writers#post-713 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 23:56:05 +0000 koenigseggrocks 713@http://www.pspminis.com/forums/ <p>I just finished a review of Vector TD, if you wish to see it, here it is: <a href="http://www.pspminis.com/forums/topic/vector-td-review#post-712" rel="nofollow">http://www.pspminis.com/forums/topic/vector-td-review#post-712</a> </p> http://www.pspminis.com/forums/topic/looking-for-community-writers#post-710 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 22:58:21 +0000 koenigseggrocks 710@http://www.pspminis.com/forums/ <p>I thought you could switch accounts...And I guess I wasn't really thinking back there about the doing it at home.

Although I don't really have a history of reviewing games, it's something I think I would like. However, could I do it from home? And if so, assuming I join your team, would I be able to re-activate my PSP to play games I downloaded? I'll help if you want me to, although like I said, I don't really have a history of reviewing. And I do have high-speed internet, so I could do reviews pretty much instantly.
