I'd be happy to do some reviews for it. :) I have got a nice Saturn collection that is always growing and I'd be happy to review most of them, maybe even some comparisons with the Playstation versions of some games even.

I have summer school and am grounded from doing anything but going to school and playing video games pretty much so this summer will work out excellent. PM me with a schedule etc. If you are interested, If you like I could write up a sample this afternoon as well.

I'd definitely be interested in doing something like this but I have two questions for you; 1) What kind of schedule are you looking to keep for reviews, and 2) Are you doing any particular consoles or is any retro hardware up for discussion because I'm more of a Sega collector than anything else?
Currently owned; Colecovision, Master System, TG-16/CD, SNES, Genesis/CD Mk1/32X, Saturn, Dreamcast, Jaguar/CD, Xbox, Wii, and PS3!!!

Also, if anyone has the case art for Popful Mail (Sega CD), I'd like to speak with you!

Like the layout, but how will the "insert cartridge" deal work out when you have a large number of reviews? It would be a pain to scroll through tons of cartridge art to find reviews. Looking good though!
Want:
Twin Famicom
Sega CD Games

Once a lot of games are up, I'm going to switch it to a "spine" search which is how most games are found in real life. But I plan to have a plain text list as well.

OK, well, in that case, count me in. I have tons of obscure Japanese games. Since I am fluent in japanese, I can understand them better than most English-speaking gamers.

It would be awesome to finally get a look at Japan only titles that either never see the light of day in the states, or don't get a proper review as the person reviewing them never learned any Japanese.
