    I'm just wondering if there are individuals here who are interested in writing game reviews.

    I am good sir, and as soon as my 8690 arrives, I will be reviewing a couple games that have taunted me from the shelves.

    I'd like to get in the reviewing world, but with my studies I don't have time to adjust my grammar, spelling and overal writing style. Besides when playing games to get a review you start to be more critical, and enjoy the game less.

    I'm interested :)

    I play them from my not-so-powerful laptop and from my soon-to-be-very-powerful desktop.

    I would love to write game reviews, and I think I'd be good at it too (pats self on back). My problem is I take forever to finish a game because life doesn't leave me much time for it. Are free review copies included? I suppose that might motivate me into some late night sessions to get it done. :D

    It's all about video reviews these days, with youtube, etc. Video reviews for games are much more relevant than articles IMO.

    I've never reviewed games, but I have reviewed movies (on a blog) and music (on a now defunct site) before. So, uh, I guess that's a maybe?

    I only like video game reviews.

    I really don't like reading reviews and looking at still pictures. For example, Alpha Protocol screenshots look good, but if you see game footage, you fall off your chair laughing.
