My games career progress - Page 7

Hoping it is

I really enjoyed the first one.
You had any news of any games to review Davey? I know Luke said that there weren't many review copies of anything about yet but he was hoping there would be soon. I'm guessing some lucky sod probably has Burnout Paradise to do!

Davey_Pitch · 25-01-2008, 22:24

Nothing yet, I might email him and see if he wants me to do anything in the mean time.

I spoke to the guys at x360a and they're actually happy for me to work with Play.tm and still do reviews for them as well. Might knock out a review of something I already own just to keep ticking over

Haly · 25-01-2008, 23:12

Heh, now that's funny. Considering they didn't want me writing for x360a and x3h at the same time but refused to admit it was because they didn't like x3h

Instead they said they just didn't want me writing for more than one site regardless of what site

I'd have much preferred it if they'd been honest but ah well.

Next week's getting quite busy now, Advance Wars review, TV review and I want to crack on with my OU course I've just started so I can get ahead a bit before I start work.

Advance Wars review is up

http://play.tm/story/15829
Although I've just noticed a grammatical error I didn't notice last night when I submitted it

Got a Lineage 2 expansion pack on the way to review next too.

Nice review Jen

I'm currently being sent the Art of Fighting Anthology on PS2 to review. Never played the SNK fighting games before so I'll have to do a little revision before I play it, though having never played the series may help me judge it from a less biased perspective

Haly · 01-02-2008, 12:15

Nice one

I've never played the games either so be interesting to hear your views.

Haly · 13-02-2008, 13:58

What's Art of Fighting like Davey?

I've just had Jack Keane arrive, a point and click adventure for the PC that looks like it's taken a lot of inspiration from Lucasart games which is no bad thing at all

Davey_Pitch · 13-02-2008, 15:05

It's not bad. Not up there with Street Fighter but certainly not a bad figther by any stretch of the imagination. I'm nearly done with my review of it now, I wanted to have it finished last weekend but I've run over a little bit

Haly · 13-02-2008, 15:14

You? Run over a little? Surely not

3k words or more?

Davey_Pitch · 13-02-2008, 15:36

The review itself isn't that long (it is merely a collection of 3 older games after all) but it's just taken me longer to do than I thought it would do.
