| Great games are great, but sometimes an overall bad game has a shining feature that is overlooked/underplayed because of what it was packaged with. Regardless of how you liked the game itself, how about we list some great features or systems included with games that deserve to be remembered? I'll st... |

| Actually, I'm betting Cliffsky does quite well with his games (financially). He hangs out at another forum I go to. One of his games was mentioned on penny arcade, pretty big crowd. When you break down piracy, it does lead to obvious and/or off-the-wall conclusions. |

| Well, there's probably at least 3 things wrong with reviews: 1) The scoring system. Scales of 1-5 and 1-10 are rigid and the numbers alone can't tell you much. If you go by the bartle system (however outdated), they'd realize that they are scoring the wrong things as well. Not to mention that each d... |

| Not sure it's really related to perfectionism. I'm betting a lot of people aren't even working on the game at all. What's that stem from? 1) Missing resources critical to understanding or finishing an event 2) Losing enthusiasm for working on the game 2a) because the game isn't really that good 2b) ... |

| It's good and bad. Good: 1) It will promote extra features in games. 2) It allows indie games to make a significant amount of profit. Neutral: 1) It's not for everyone. Not everyone is gonna pay 2 bucks for a different looking horse to ride. Bad: 1) Bad companies will use micro-transactions in the s... |

| I might suggest raising the limit of words to 250 or 225. Each story had little fat to cut and could have greatly benefited from an extra line or two. |

Bonanza - 8 A little far fetched... maybe another line or two would really help. Staffy - 7 You seem to be missing the climax. (maybe you lost it when you got married?) Nex - 9 Good... |
