GBATemp's Review Team

Project Started By: Ryukouki, Team Leader



Mission Statement: Our plan as a review team is to inform the general public here at GBAtemp about what games/objects seem interesting to write about. We seek to do so by writing comprehensive reviews about all aspects of the game, with proper English language, and the use of photos to further emphasize on our point.

When? GBATemp review members hope to write reviews approximately once or twice a week.

Where? GBATemp's Reviews and Guides Forum


-In conclusion, the GBATemp review team is a means for users to freely express their opinion about whether they like a given subject or not. The review can be about anything as long as it sticks to the GBATemp reviews template and the general theme of the site. Members who choose to join must show dedication to the team by writing as frequently as possible. Members who choose to not abide by the rules of the review team are simply removed, including Ryukouki. No one member on the team shall have greater authority over another. We are a team, and we will work as a team.

Spoiler

Please note: This outline is a rough sketch of the team's ideas. It can be subject to updates at any time.

Please also keep in mind that anyone who is interested in joining should drop a private message to me here. A more informal way to reach me would be by my email, which is brandonbui[at]cox.net. I wish everyone the best, and thanks for the generous support by staff and members alike. I hope to serve everyone well!

Ryukouki,
i think that you misinterpreted what i said. i won't be able to be a supervisor for this project. if you need help and direction such as outlines or advice, i'd be happy to provide that information. i would also be happy to provide a front page post, now and then, for things that are really detailed, well written, etc. gbatemp would love to help you promote this project as we are always happy when our users get involved. so keep me updated, from time to time and i’ll do my best to help you out.

to meet the standards i have for writing i would need to build a team of users who are dedicated and good at doing reviews. this would come after some hard work and i can not simply say a project is "official" from day one. right now my goals are to get the gbatemp recommends revived. after that i may consider running a team of general users who want to write game reviews. something like that would be much into the distant future. doing things one step at a time is my approach, and starting with the gbatemp recommends is enough for right now. i am very busy in my current position and if you would like to discuss how i budget my gbatemp time further you can PM me and i would be happy to reply.

i wish you the best with this project and i hope that you have a great time doing it.

Oh, haha, ok sorry about that

College Chemistry... screws around with my head haha.

I'll revise it right away. Thank you for your warm wishes, and honestly when I saw you posting for a full 15 minutes, I was freaking out about getting chewed out

I'll be sure to not let anyone down

Thanks to the community for your support in this project.

i would want to do a project like this the way i would want to do it. i also have a TON of work on my plate, gbatemp related. i also have real life, real jobs, real responsibilities. for now you should run this on your own. build a team. write some reviews. get some front page post. have fun with it. really plan it out. really make it good. then try to make it successful. once you have it to that point pitch it to me and convince me that the people you have are dedicated. after that i will talk to the staff about making you an "official" team leader responsible for the people under you and getting certain types of reviews published for the front page.

to get to the last point you will have to work really hard. like i said i'd be happy to help. do your own thing right now and as this starts to take off all chime in and give you some suggestions and ideas which will better shape it into a "gbatemp mould'

[Ryukouki]

Oh, I get it, haha. No worries at all. I'm just glad that I have the support of the community at my back. The joys of living... I'll do my best to live up to a successful project!

I unfortunately may not have the godly reviewing prowess like you, but I can certainly try to improve myself. Also, it has nothing to do with being staff or being a "leader." That's just an added bonus. I really just want to give back to the community I learned so much from.

But again, I'll thank you ten thousand times over, but thank you for offering your advice to me.

I second this. Either way I still need something to review. Will you accept a review like "Random Bullshit R4 Clone Review" that I just made up (including the R4 clone)?

With as many reviews of the R4 and it's clones as there are I just don't see a need for more right now.
Try making something that would be unique on our forum.

Personally speaking, I'm interested in writing a review of Final Fantasy: 4 Heroes of Light.

we could benefit from game reviews. thats all i'm saying =)

About that paragraph, this topic was just to cement my idea instead of being a little interest group. Since I have a group interested now, why not try to make it bigger and more "official?" I understand that it's not going to be perfect from day one.

Hahaha, if you want my help with GBATemp recommends, let me know.

i'm not against your idea or the way you are going about this. just understand that i have a ton on my plate right now. which is why i'm suggesting that you do this on your own with some direction, for awhile. if you had brought up this idea to me a year ago i would have ran with it. i just don't have any more free time right now to do something like this, perhaps soon i will and we can revisit this conversation. sound good?

if vulpes wants to be the head of this project i don't have a a problem with that. i'd just ask that if we are going to make this an "official" supplement to gbatemp that all review standards are followed. this includes hosting images at gbatemp, proper writing skills, proper formatting, use of html, proper research, proper testing, etc. i can type up an outline with examples if vulpes wants to run with this. just let me know mate! =P

[Ryukouki]

That sounds reasonable, not too much. Please, take your time with your work. Good luck with your future endeavors!

 

[Vulpes Abnocto]

Hmm.

Well it looks like in promoting this project I've created a new job to do.

 

[SubliminalSegue]

Hmmmm, for Subliminal, nice work buddy. Definitely on my list. It's good that you're meticulous about these things. Reviews can generally be about anything with video games, like AW said a while back. Just stick to the site's general theme and it's fine.

*fist pump*

I'll make up a flashcart that has absolutely everything and will never exist because it is too good to be true

And then I'll review it. Starting the review... NOW.

Haha nice

[Evo.lve]

Well, I WOULD, but I HAVE already started, and I AM a lazy person...

Posts merged

Lmao. My review starts off with "Thanks to my imagination for providing us with this flashcart and a DS to play it on".

 

[Black_Knight_666]

And you're interested in been one of the review team?

 

[Evo.lve]

And you're interested in been one of the review team?

Of course...

 

[Black_Knight_666]

Then you may want to edit out that part that says you are too lazy.. *hint hint*

LOOOOL. I have the time and inclination to do this, but it was mainly because I was pretty much already finished. I'm not actually lazy, but I'm not gonna delete an entire review to make a new one for a game.
p.s. PM sent.

p.p.s. If I make it in, I shotgun DS games reviews.

 

[SubliminalSegue]

I'm curious though. I wrote a Deadly Premonition review yesterday, and know full well it's not up to date. Are these reviews going to be new releases? Or can we slip in some older ones too? Cause like I said before, I can pretty much belt out a Wii/DS review on release date, or within 2-3 days of release, depending on school, job and getting laid.

I'm excited now, though. Epic Mickey and Donkey Kong Country Returns coming up in a few weeks. My mouth is literally salivating. XD

 

[Evo.lve]

I can review generally any DS Game, as long as you don't give a shit about me pirating it... *hint hint*

Fuck you all, I shotgun Pokemon B/W.

 

[SubliminalSegue]

XD. I don't judge. But as far as reviews, you'll have to beat me to it.
