A new genre for my blog posting.

After some people complaining about my recent review of Metroid Prime 3, I've decided that I'm gonna take a break writing reviews here at GS. I had to change my review several times due to some "spoilers". Heck, my review for Diddy Kong Racing DS was long because I wrote every single thing about the game, the features, completely spoiling the whole experience of the entire game to individuals reading my review of DiddyKong Racing DS.

So from now on, for now, I'll just rate the games I play rather than talking about it. There are only a few reviews that I've written that didn't include anything that would ruin the game, like Crush for the PSP. I don't know when I'll return to writing reviews in the future, but I need to learn to describe the game by it's high points and its flaws rather than giving out secrets and anything that would completely ruin someone's anticipation or thoughts of buying that specific game.

It may be a couple of weeks, perhaps months, before I start writing reviews again. And until then, I'll need to learn my lesson if I want to continue writing reviews in a way with my own style, with my own opinions, with my own critique.

See Ya!

Hey man slow down! I wasn't trying to down your review(s) or anything, your reviews ARE good. I just think you should play all the way through the game before you make your finally conclusion is all. Seems I always rub you the wrong way

Platy: I see. Well I'll do my best in writing reviews in the future.

psychojakrabbit: You had nothing to do with my review on Prime 3. I'm glad you liked it. I'm sorry if I cause any sort of confusion. And yeah I have to agree with what you said on playing the game the whole way. Once I work my way through Prime 3, I'll be able to get a better understanding of how the game plays as I progress to the end.

i've never given away to much info in a review Anyway I hope you manage to find the right formula to keep your reviews at a high quality without being to revealing

i have neglected to read yer other blog post so i am at a disadvantage but getting flamed for something shouldn't cause you to stop! If yer main reason for not writing reviews is to re-evaluate how you write them, then OK. But to stop writing them b/c of some complaints is not a good thang
If you write and know yer gonna put spoilers in it put a warning at the beginning of the review and when you get to the spoiler part, put them in that spoiler thingy
Now excuse while i read yer other blog entry
and enjoy yerself
peace

pigfish: Thanks. I'll try.

spookspouse: thank you. I usually get carried away when it comes to writing reviews. It's only later that I realize what I've written that I have to revise them a couple of times. I don't mean to add any spoilers. It's just that I get carried away and don't realize what I've written (okay I just repeated myself there) I feel a little better now, and I will enjoy myself to the fullest
