Hey gang, check out my review site!

Post by Jerkface Killah »

I have been a member of these forums for a little while now. The community is fantastic. I recently stopped being lazy and started a retro game review site where I hope to do at least 1 video review a month. Please check it out. I need criticisms! If you do give feedback, please try to be constructive and not just "your site sucks!'. Thanks everyone!

Edit: I am still working out compatibility kinks. It works better in Safari than FireFox. Hopefully I can iron this out...

It's kind of hard to give a lot of feedback since you don't have an actual review up yet. That said the site looks good, nothing too fancy but it has a nice clean look to it which is good. I like the fact that you are reviewing the packaging as well as the game since it is an often overlooked portion of the game. The audio sounds OK. I'm not sure what kind of mic you are using, but you might want to consider investing in a prosumer level mic. The one I use for my show is the snowball microphone

It's a great mic for under a hundred bucks, and when you add it in with Garage Band and some of the vocal filters you get some really good results.

Be sure to post on here when you get your first review up and I'll comment further. Good job so far though...

Indeed, looks good so far. I agree with OMFC the the sound is a little 'off'. But hopefully his suggestions will help.

I just want to say that there are a bazillion review sites out there, so it will be hard to attract any attention.

My advice is to review games that no one else reviewed.

Believe it or not, I sometimes hear of a game, log on youtube and search for a review , and it will be hard to find one. Don't review any obvious games, any less you are dedicated to one genre

Why is "retro" in scare quotes?

A quick suggestion, I would change the "Episdoes" category at the top of the page to "Episodes" :mrgreen: .
