Since I went off on a rant about game reviews recently, I decided perhaps it's high time I started doing a few myself. Thus, coming soon will be my own brand of game reviews. I've decided for a scoring mechanism to use an A-F grading scale, as I think it's one everyone can relate to, and it has enough grey area to make the scores somewhat meaningful. I promise not just to give A's and B's. ;)
I don't intend for them to be the type you would base a purchase off of. Quite the contrary, I intend for them to be my thoughts on a game I had played, as a way of soliciting feedback and discussion about said game. The games could range from new releases to old classics, whatever I feel like commenting about really. They'll probably end up being rather informal, and rather sporatic.
Reviews will show up on the index page and archives just like a regular post, but will have a review header with various info about the game being reviewed as well as its score. I also plan on adding a separate archive just for all of the game reviews. They should be easy to separate from regular posts (though they really are just regular posts when it comes down to it). Look for them soon.
As a sidenote, I finally finished making the original top banners larger, so they should all be rotating now. I'd like to get quite a few banners up there, so I'll be working some more on those in the future as well.
