My games career progress - Page 4

Sounds good Jen.

I love writing reviews, although my english and grammer isn't that great but I know plenty of people who can check my work. Secretary's have their uses

.. I've had two printed now and I'm in the throws of writing one now..

Haly · 29-11-2007, 12:13

Nice one Huddy

My next step probably sometime after Christmas is to start emailing around some magazines. I want to make sure I've got a decent background online first to hopefully aid my chances.

Just got an email from play.tm to say I'm getting sent a copy of UTIII and to make sure it's a priority as it's a big review. Must have worked my way up a bit now I'm starting to get decent games to review

Davey_Pitch · 29-11-2007, 12:19

UT3, nice, I wouldn't mind giving that a go. Let us know what it's like

Haly · 29-11-2007, 12:23

Yeah I'm rather pleased by it

Probably ebay it afterwards (providing it doesn't get linked to my ID like Tabula Rasa did) but be nice to play a bigger game for once.

Davey_Pitch · 29-11-2007, 12:28

I'm tempted to email Play.tm and see if they need any more reviewers. The problem I have with x360a is that I have to review the games I've bought myself. What I generally find is that if I've bought it, I want to play it at my own pace and enjoy it, not go through it looking for faults to mention in a review. I've always preferred reviewing games I've been sent as I'm much more analytical about it.

Haly · 29-11-2007, 12:36

I remember you saying at the weekend, it's worth a go if you ask me

Don't get if you don't try and all that. Luke's the one you need to email, he's the editor and seems a nice bloke.
Just don't get all the 360 games, that's what I'm trying to do

Haly · 30-11-2007, 15:32

Fear Perseus Mandate review is up now

http://play.tm/story/14869 For those too lazy to read it all, just don't buy it

I've just had UT3 arrive and that needs to be reviewed asap as a priority review. So should be sorted by Monday or Tuesday. I'm actually a bit nervous about writing it. I know that this is a review that people will actually read rather than the others were probably read by a smaller group of people.
Might also be a decent chance at getting more big games in the future too

Haly · 04-12-2007, 12:20

Oops my 3rd post in a row

http://play.tm/story/14926 - Unreal Tournament 3 review is up

I've just had Bladestorm arrive for the 360 to review, makes a change to have a 360 title. As well as that, the xboxdomain editor's emailed me to say he's sorting out my access for the site and that he wants me to review some Arcade games so I should receive a code for most likely Undertow this week.

Did you get round to emailing play.tm Davey?

Creature · 04-12-2007, 12:41

Bladestorm. I've been thinking about getting that. Eager for the review as the demo was good.

I call didbs if you sell

Haly · 04-12-2007, 12:43

Yup I'll be selling it once I review it

I'll let you know, and I'll even let you read the review before you consider buying, which I never let the ebayers do
