    Review Template and Rules

    If it is possible, could all reviewers use this template until the new plug-in becomes active.

    HTML Code:
    PICTURE
    
    [B]
    Developer: 
    Platform: 
    Multiplayer: 
    Single player: 
    [/B]
    
    REVIEW
    
    [B]Good points[/B] – 
    [B]Bad points[/B] – 
    Screen-shots are always helpful and add a bit more of a preview into the game, but make sure they don't exceed ridiculous sizes.

    Please, no plot spoilers, not even in SPOILER tags.

    Re: Call of Duty: WaW [5] Review

    Names of factions, enemies (except maybe big bosses or pictures of big bosses that are meant to be a surprise), and very general plot lines are allowed. TBH, it's at the writer's discretion whether to include something that may be a spoiler or not. If when playing the game and experiencing the content, you thought, "wow! I really wasn't expecting that", or, "That was SO cool!", it's generally a bad idea to spoil it for the reader.

    Another thing to note when reviewing is to build suspense for a part of the game that really wowed the reviewer. An example would be in the PCGamer Bioshock review when the reviewer was saying how awesome the Fort Frolic section was. It didn't give much away about the plot, just the fact that you took pictures of things (which means nothing without context), and that the set pieces were great, the acting, visuals at that point etc etc...

    You can easily tell the reader how awesome a section of the game was without giving anything away about the plot that would potentially spoil it for them.
