New Game Review Site

Game Reviews at www.game-review.org

I've been working on this Drupal powered site. It's an open project. Anyone that wants to join in, please do. There's no money in it for me, just the expense of paying for the hosting and domain name. Maybe we'll get some product samples for review down the line, but that's just wishful thinking. Well, who would say no to free games? We also plan to review hardware, peripherals, motherboards, controllers and all that stuff. If you're interested in helping, use the contact page on the site.

The goal is simply to create an open community review site. Currently, reviews have to be submitted unless you are an author. We are accepting applications to become an author and are keen to recruit as many as possible. In the future I'll be adding an automated system that will allow anyone to post a review or rank a game, and that will also allow efficient search of a game score/review database. With such a system we will avoid the problem of people using the site as a link farm and provide a means for us to keep outright comment spam under check.

The site layout isn't finished yet. In particular some things aren't quite right in IE - mainly because I try not to use that awful mess of a browser. Suggestions are appreciated. There should be plenty of bandwidth and the server should be reasonably responsive. Again, if you have any problems with the site, or find page delivery is unreasonably slow, let me know and I will do what I can to improve matters.
