I would like to suggest that, when a new review is posted on the front page and someone clicks on it, they're taken to a page that says "Do you like this game" - with two options "Yes" and "No".

When you click on one or the other, you're taken to a review that fits your answer to the previous question.

Brilliant!

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #2 on:** April 11, 2007, 01:31:19 PM »

Ah but what if there isn't a review that fits? Then what?

UncleBob · « **Reply #3 on:** April 11, 2007, 01:34:40 PM »

Well, obviously, whomever is reviewing the game has to write two reviews - one for the fans of the game and one for the people who dislike the game. It's obvious that people are more interested in reading reviews from people who agree with them than reading reviews that truthfully convey the thoughts of the person writing the review.

I know I am.

I've been doing this for years. You guys just haven't noticed the re-direction (because it is telepathic!).

that Baby guy · « **Reply #6 on:** April 11, 2007, 02:24:28 PM »

That's why you get the "Staff Hero" title and the V-watch.

Henshin a'go-go, baby.

The sub-headline on every review I write from now on is going to be "I hate you, and the games you like!"

NWR_pap64 · « **Reply #9 on:** April 11, 2007, 06:10:27 PM »

Now THIS is an idea I approve of! *Thumb up

WindyMan · « **Reply #10 on:** April 11, 2007, 06:22:22 PM »

Hm, that's a good idea. We'll look into that.

S-U-P-E-R · « **Reply #11 on:** April 11, 2007, 06:29:30 PM »

I'm not reading the site though because some guy on it didn't like some anime golf game I'll probably never play

that Baby guy · « **Reply #12 on:** April 11, 2007, 06:32:02 PM »

Seriously, though. Let's just get T-Rex from Dinosaur comics to write all the reviews. Everyone loves him, so no one would complain. Except Goombas. Goombas would complain. T-Rex would just stomp them, though.

Plugabugz · « **Reply #13 on:** April 11, 2007, 09:23:57 PM »

I propose deducting a point from any future review that is delayed in europe beyond 2 weeks.

2.5 FTW!

Like SUPER ever writes reviews...

That would be a good idea, except, t-rex doesn't like videogames.

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #17 on:** April 12, 2007, 03:44:45 PM »

Nintendo Power always has the 2nd opinion blurb in each review (I think most mags do).

Might be a good idea.

SUPER writes reviews for games he's a collosal poofter for.
"Oh man this game has Naruto in it AND it's a 2D fighter! 10/10"

You mean like if you liked 50 Cent Bulletproof? Then again, if you liked that game you're almost certainly illiterate.

What is said is that I think it would be cool to have a window pop up when you go to a review that asks if you liked the the game with a simple scale 1-5.

1 Hated It.
2 Disappointed.
3 Neutral
4 Like it.
5 Loved it.

Then you could have a pie chart poll code that let the readers of NWR voice their opinion on the game.

I know this is funhouse, but I think this idea is pretty cool.

UncleBob · « **Reply #21 on:** April 13, 2007, 03:26:22 PM »

Unfortunatly, a lot of people who have never played the game would vote, thus negating the ideal outcome...

that Baby guy · « **Reply #22 on:** April 13, 2007, 03:43:17 PM »

I like to complain on message boards about games I haven't played.

Hey, that was just that one time

Somehow, I think if I started reviewing the Metroid Prime and Zelda games, I would be a lot less popular of a reviewer!

There's only one review I've written here that I'd go back on, and that's the first Ninja Turtles for GC. I way overrated that. :\

The most fun ones to write have been most of the random GBA ones, because I have no idea what to expect from the game, and I'm either delightfully surprised or horrified, making the reviews really fun to write.

Svevan · « **Reply #24 on:** April 13, 2007, 11:50:05 PM »

I hate this idea. It presupposes that taste subjective, therefore always correct, and that if one believes the game is good they deserve a review that reinforces why. Perhaps that person should NOT like that game - maybe our review will guide the way?
