GBATemp review team?

[Ryukouki]

Taking ZenZero's topic here, why don't we make this more formal and make a certain group of prestigious reviewers on the Temp part of their own category as a review team?

Opinions?

I don't see why this needs to be so all or nothing. I don't think this is the kind of thing that should be made into a staff project right away. If users really want to make a group to do a reviews section in the forums, why not just say "have at," and see how it turns out. If things go as expected, it can fizzle, and who cares. If it goes well, and the staff takes notice, worry about it then.

I'd like to take you up on your offer to help write for GBATemp recommends. I would like to see what you require out of a writer, and on top of that, I want to be more familiar with the NDS/GBA scene.

I for one would be interested in trying to revive the GBATemp recommends, it would seem like a fun thing to do in spare time

 

[Another World]

i think the gbatemp recommends would be very fun to revive. if i had 8 people willing to help it would mean 1 thing per user every 2 months. also recommend articles only take about 2hrs of play time and 1 hour of writing. they aren't anything that will take all of your free time, like a full review.

so please get in contact with me and we can get this going ASAP.

I'm interested in trying this out, but by recommended articles, could you explain that a bit more please? Like articles that are in GBATemp forums? I have confused myself with this...

I am definitely interested in helping out! it's a great idea

Just wondering.

How are you planning to write reviews if you're not familiar enough with that stuff to do it?

It's easy, you read others reviews, get involved in it, and start writing about what you think is appropriate for the certain reviewer/writer.

 

[Black_Knight_666]

True. It also helps taking the time to research and actually understand what you are reviewing, to a certain depth.

 

[Ryukouki]

I remember when I was just starting out, I had my colleague's review practically side by side

It generally gave me the idea of what to do though, so it's all good.

example by myself: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=126388
more examples: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?dynamic=68

my idea to revive this goes beyond just gba titles or homebrew. it should be really fun and anyone with a gba/gba flash kit, nds/nds flash kit, or hacked wii could get involved.

for everyone who contacted me so far i will get back with you by tomorrow.

I will contact you about this by this afternoon, (UK time), Another World as I'm really interested. I have the time and inclination to do this but feel I may have missed the boat due partly to the time zone I'm in and some other stuff that went down yesterday...

 

[Evo.lve]

Eep, 4am in America? I will contact you later, as I'm really intrigued.

PM'd Another World my review. Hopefully it meets her standards

 

[Vulpes Abnocto]

This idea is getting some good attention.

So let's make it official.
