[quote name='CaptainJoel']What truth is out?
[/QUOTE]
The truth was that you said you didn't like the game. Which is absolutely fine, there is nothing wrong with not enjoying a game. I just think you need to state that in your review. It gives perspective to your score that is all. Just friendly criticism.
Also, never stated "when" or "heard" in the first sentence. It gives off this vibe that you already have a predisposition on what to expect from a game without playing it (bias if you will). Be a sponge, consume, then report everything you consumed. Few things to help in your future reviews (even if they are short ones!):
-What is it that you are reviewing (sequel/spiritual successor/original ip/copy/genre)?
-Does it bring anything new to the table/copy/improve?
-Does it function properly?
-If there is a story, does it convey its message (even if the plot is simple, does it convey its message)?
-What could it change to become even better (state the problem, show who did it better)?
-Was the experience satisfying (tell us what you felt)?
I can't wait to read your next review.
/edit: This just popped in my head about your complaint on your review length.

Not saying you do not understand it or anything, you just need to find your voice within your writing. Having that voice allows your sentences to become clear and understandable. It is not easy and many never find it.

Google ads are funny. I bought capacitors from Mouser Electronics a few weeks ago, kept seeing their ads after that. I was like "I already bought from them!"

I liked the game until I had to deal with the ball crushing difficulty. I loved the background and the story of the game (what I've heard atleast), it was very different, I just didn't like the gameplay. If it was a movie perhaps, or a book, I would've liked it.
The review may give the feel that I had a predisposition for the game, but I can assure you I didn't. I wouldn't have spent money on the game and put 6 hours into it if I didn't think I was going to like it.
For my future reivews I'll try to incorporate the info you want, but honestly, it's pretty hard to get that kind of stuff in there while still getting in what I think is necessary to the piece and following my editors rules. I think Mortal Kombat's review followed exactly the formula you lay out while also doing everything I wanted it to, which makes sense considering I wrote it to be a short review. Demon's Souls review is probably somewhat flawed from the get-go because of it being cut up pieces from what was initially a very long review that acted as my "audition tape".
Edit: I have my voice in my writing, that's not a problem I have. I've been writing a long, long time and have that part down pat. The problem seriously was that I had to trim so much down from the initial review. My editir wanted my DS review to be my first review posted to the site, so I did what I could to push it down into the right size and incorporate what he wanted into it.
Double edit: I don't understand how Google ads work. I never google for gamer chicks dating services.

Imma review Contra.
In Contra for the Nintendo Entertainment System, the vile alien terrorist menace Red Falcon is threatening to take over the Earth. Players assume the roles of Bill Rizer and Lance Bean, two shirtless commandos who must stop the alien terrorists and preserve freedom. Players follow Bill and Lance through 8 stages, all side scrolling with the exception of stages two and four, which are third person behind the back as you blow open doors and charge forth towards the boss of the stage. Players will find a variety of power ups such as the almighty spread gun and lasers that will help fight the War on Alien Terror. To sum it up, this game is badass as
, you run around and just blast alien terrorists and get to the end of the stage, then boom, up some boss. Repeat 8 times and you've finished the game in about 15 minutes. Love this shti. 10/10

It's pretty different compared to most review sites that I've seen. They aren't supplied anything for review except maybe an XBLIG code or two and they don't pay at all. I'm not knocking it or anything, I'm really just doing it because I was told by a teacher that I should write critically more often and I can easily do that about two things, comics and video games. Once I saw that they were wanting more writers I thought it was a good idea to throw my stuff in since I don't have anywhere else to put it.

Wow, MK Expert difficulty is on some major bullshit right now. >_
No, you can't review a video game in a paragraph. That's ridiculous. A one-paragraph review is an opinion. It feeds into narrow-casting to the ing idiots who only look at the scores in the first place. A review needs to include how the game works, how WELL the game works, what's good, what's bad, what you didn't like but other people may, potential audiences, etc. I could write a paragraph about what a good review needs.

A review needs to include how the game works, how WELL the game works, what's good, what's bad, what you didn't like but other people may, potential audiences, etc. I could write a paragraph about what a good review needs.Taken from your MK review.
Your first sentence states that you were "skeptical," why? Because of the two previous "less than stellar" MK games. Great idea to write in the first sentence, just poorly written.
"The franchise of Mortal Kombat was on a declining slope of being a mediocre fighting game. NetherRealm attempts to remove all predisposition by reintroducing the newest iteration of the franchise as 'Mortal Kombat.' (insert if the reboot was a good idea or not)."
Did it really take the bad of the previous games and turn it good? More like they took the core values of their franchise (gore, original characters and fatalities) and incorporated a systematic fighting engine around their values. Also I was never in fear, maybe like you, skeptical, but never in fear. This sentence goes is the insert section. Just don't write like this ever again please
From the first sentence that I rewrote, we already know that the game is a reboot, essentially the story mode and all of the following will change. No need to restate the "complete overhaul." Tell us what has changed and improved.
"NetherRealms provides us with a fighting system that allows for the player to create their own combos in continuation of the Mortal Kombat lore. The gore is present with a new x-ray feature that allows for the audience to cringe at the sight broken bones, crush organs and what the insides would look like if they were impaled. A robust story mode, Tag Team Kombat and a Challenge Tower only enhance the experience and longevity of the game."
Is it really that sad? Is the online flawed? or is it just unplayable? I do not know because I have no experience with MK online. However nothing is ever sad, only unfortunate. Sad is an emotion emitted by humans and dogs. Games can only influence emotions.
"Mortal Kombat at its core has been a revival worth purchasing, however if online gaming is your main form of competition, then this is where NetherRealm has failed as a developer. Currently (date it), Mortal Kombat's online system voids all forms of enjoyment due to their incompatible and laggy online matchmaking. However despite the pitfalls of their netcode, Mortal Kombat is a successful revival to a franchise. A must purchase for any fighting game or Mortal Kombat fan."
Now for your short review:
Now you just sold me on this game

I agree, I also really don't like the straight good or bad review scale. Too black and white.[/QUOTE]
I don't usually like scores in general. I've read far too many reviews where they seemed to be mostly focusing on flaws. I'd expect it to get a 6, and see an 8.5. No explanation.

That is why you compare games. Like how Bayonetta is the reigning Queen of action platforming games. Which is why Castlevania: LoS and Enslaved were left in the dust. Comparing games of the similar type is how you can come up with a rating.
Example:
-Bayonetta (10)
-Ninja Gaiden Black (9)
-Devil May Cry 3 (9)
-God of War 2 (9)
-...
- Castlevania: LoS (6)
-Enslaved (6)
-Devil May Cry 4 (6)
-Heavenly Sword (5)
-etc..

Verbal pizazz is writing my friend. I never changed your position on your stance or what your message was. Just trying to say that you need pizazz or it just looks like a 13 year old's writing, with run-ons galore.
Why do you need to mention Armageddon/Mk vs DC? They were horrible and didn't sell well. Your review is about Mortal Kombat, not those two games. Keep it that way.
Not the way you write? Learn to write like that, it only helps, never hinders.

Why do you need to mention Armageddon/Mk vs DC? They were horrible and didn't sell well. Your review is about Mortal Kombat, not those two games. Keep it that way.
Not the way you write? Learn to write like that, it only helps, never hinders.
I don't care enough to write reviews

[quote name='Chacrana']I think the point is that you gotta be succinct. You can still have fun with words, but you should never do it at the expense of efficiency.[/QUOTE]
Okay, that makes more sense. Thank you for just outright saying that, Chac.

/edit: damn you Chac, I had to look up succinct.[/QUOTE]
I do not think my writing looked anything at all like a 13 year old's. Also, any problems with run-ons may entirely be because of my editor "editing" every review that goes up (he edits for grammar and rearranges sentences in some cases), because I know that I haven't had a problem with run-on sentences since I was in 6th grade.
I mentioned the other MK games because they were piles of shit, and I know that I can't be the only one that saw this new one coming out and thought, "Is this Armageddon 2?"
If you're saying to just write succinctly like Chac said, then I'm trackin' you. If not, then it's just not the way I write it.
edit: I really don't think the MK one suffered from poor writing. Fah Realz.

We should figure out a way to watch it via skype. Checking the internets for leaks now.

You say I twice in the first sentence. The review is about Mortal Kombat, not you. This is a rookie mistake. I know you will not make it again. You can personalize the feelings you have for a game, but it is never about you, but about how the game made you feel. Also saying 'I felt about .' It not a constructive sentence (not saying you wrote/write like this, but just giving the heads up).

Fresh from the Jimbo Slice cafe - it was pretty good. Not my best effort, but certainly better than the average cheesesteak.
PS: a bagel was the only bread in my house

Happy Birthday Icebeast.
Played a little MK last night. I did pretty bad after not playing for a week.

Oh yeah, I can see where I went wrong with that (wrote it in a similar way to how I wrote news in high school). However, since you've brought up my reviews I've been reading and comparing my reviews to the ones in OXM, PTOM, and GI and they're really not that different. If you hate the way I write you must really dislike most gaming mags reviews. Most reviews have lead-ins very, very similar to that one.
Edit: Jimbo! What type of meat did you use for that? Do you buy prepackaged cheesesteak meat like Steakums or do you just buy a thin cut of Steak?

If I had to rewrite the sentence (which I barely even read in the first place so the content's probably different, it'd be something like:
After the middling Mortal Kombat vs. DC, series fans were rightfully skeptical of yet another reboot for the aging franchise.
Or something like that. I don'tin' know. I gotta study rape some more.
*hits the books*

Whenever you make your way to Philly it's on like Donkey Kong, brother. Much grub and booze will be had.

This one is a pre-packaged. When I am cooking for just myself I tend to just go pre-packaged because it is much easier. I did buy a local(ish) brand though, not Steak-Ums or anything like that.

Video Gaming Journalism is a joke. Blog journalism is a joke and tv journalism is for people who like to think they make a difference in the world by being on tv as much as possible. Political anchors are the worse. They should have terms like politicians.
Beef tenderloin is the best to use for cheesesteak. If you don't have the money flank steak can be used. Slice as thin as possible.

I'd be up for that, except I already saw Fast5.
It wasn't terrible. I've(unfortunately) seen all the previous F&F flicks, and this was the least offensive.
Probably because it had so little to do with the street racing that built up the franchise.
P.S. It's out there kiddo...
