16 years, 12 months ago at May 10 1:28 - I'm bringing up something that Prelude and GA chatted about in another thread; it was off topic in there (tut tut)..and then I went and revived a bloody dead thread over it!
I dont really need to add much; I just agree that some amazing reviews like Moz's are getting overlooked, props man, you put me to shame. This is exactly why we should get a 'best reviews' section or some such going.
Any suggestions?

I'm going a bit off topic, but this reminds me of something I noticed. I've known Moz La Punk on here for a while (i think he joined around same time as I did) and his reviews are professional grade - i mean he does run his own game review site. Yet I seem to be the only one voting for his game reviews:
mozlapunk.listal.com/reviews/games
There's way too many 'OMG THIS GAME ROX!!' reviews, and not enough of Moz's quality, so please show some support by voting for the good reviews you come across on Listal.
ok, back on topic. I mentioned my name is from my fave car I've ever owned, a '92 Prelude right? :)

I think the problem with voting for reviews is that they only seem to get airtime when you first put them up and people see them in the recent reviews section. Moz's reviews are pretty sweet, I enjoy reading them, though I don't vote because I have never played any of the games he's reviewing :)

I was thinking of adding HTML links to some of the better reviews into some of my lists, like the IMDb Top250 list, or Best Gamecube Games lists, and so on. Give particular great reviews a bit more exposure, and also improve the lists some more.

Basically, for both Custom Lists and Reviews, I'd love to have an area to not only explore most recent ones, but also see 'top viewed', 'top voted', and maybe even a sticky area for 'List of the Week' or 'Review of the Week', maybe for each category as well.

Usually for me to find a good review I usually have to find a good reviewer and I roll it from there.

On the subject of great reviews have just been browsing Hexenkult's. Absolutely top notch stuff. He's got an *ahem* alternative taste in movies & music but his reviews make for fabulous reading, informative & humorous, check 'em out ..

I agree so far with the users mentioned in this thread...good stuff!

I wrote a brief review of Guinea Pig 2, mostly as a counterpoint to Hexenkult's, but I'm so rusty that it's probably a bit stiff and dry.

This user just started reviewing games (just two so far) but the caliber of them is top notch, and we should support him with votes. bravo!
