Explaining the New System

Since this review blog is very much still in the works, things are changing. Hopefully for the better. To facilitate these changes, this post is here to explain just what I've done here.


I would like to announce that I have a new opening for each review that should make quick info easy to see. While most of the new system should be easy to understand, the following is a short example and explanation of the new system.


Game: Slide Colors
Developer: Taykron Games
Release Date: 1/12/10
Multiplayer: None
Distribution Method: XBLIG (Download)
Price: 80 MSP ($1.00 USD)


The Game listing is the title of the game.

The Developer listing tells you who the good people who made the game are.

Release date tells you when the game was officially made available to the public, as far as America is concerned, anyway.

Multiplayer tells you if the game supports multiplayer, and if so, what kind and how many.

Distribution Method tells you if it's an Arcade, Indie, or regular retail/disc game.

Price is the price that I paid for it. In the case of special editions, this is the price of the base edition. For downloaded titles, I list both the MSP and USD conversion for your convenience.


As you may have noticed, I have also started including a "Bottom Line" section in my reviews. This is a distilled review, taking my general opinion and putting it into only a few sentences. This is to replace the score, basically.
