Free Games to Review/Other Games Forum

[Buster's Uncle]

So if I was talking to a PR person at a big game publisher and the possibility of review copies came up, who would be interested?

If anyone could show me some quality reviews they'd written, they'd get preference.  Community contributions, and I don't know whether that's also content creation (lotta modders here) or just good posts, would help, too.  Most of you are literate and good writers, so I don't have worries on that count.

Basically, before the rest, I need to know who's interested in general, and what game genres those who are play.

what kind of games?

What kind(s) do you like?  Seriously; this is a member poll, and I don't know what kind yet.  I could show your Kerbal thread as something that shows some of what you're capable of, if I was to be talking to a promotions person from a gaming company.  No harm in posting more KSP, BTW - I love that stuff.

reviews I've penned.

Oh, you meant GAME reviews?

I am a strategy fan and was going to play ffta insane difficulty mod, but I couldn't beat the first scenario.

Apparently x-difficulty is considered more of a chore than strategy.

What kind of games...

Well, TBS is always appreciated. 

I'm awful picky about RPGs and RTS and don't do shooters or platformers.

What are your favoured RPG's?

Final fantasy tactics advance....mod?   you can mod GBA games?

You could even put them on a cartridge with the right equipment. 

But honestly, I couldn't be bothered to play GBA games or much anything else anymore.  Though I'll probably log onto to StarCraft once a year forever.

ffta

?

Actually, Uno, I think that stuff is helpful in this line -- The Kerbal thread is still a lot better, not least for being onsite.  Could you point me at anything you're especially proud of in your Random thread?  Text-heavy for a preference.

[Buster's Uncle]

Blanek, anything you'd care to point at with pride, especially onsite?

[BlaneckW]

ffta?

Favorite game of mine when I was like thirteen.

I will let you know if I think of anything.

Post something.  It's a member of the community thing...

I'm sorry but it's very rare that I even considered games to be particularly good.  I liked NWN1, but it's certainly not what it could be.  I guess I liked the Divine Divinity series also.  But I don't play any of them anymore.  Limited value, you know.

The only game I really play anymore, besides AC single player, would be Age of Wonders PBEM. 

One Paradox strategy that might have had "potential" but died was Kaiserreich, but they stopped developing after they banned me for trying to get them to combine the socialists and the monarchists.  I have a number of other strategy games on gamersgate that I have not bothered playing.

I will list several that are a waste of time.
1. EU3, although MEIOU mod is alright
2. Sword of Stars, which I couldn't bother playing past the loading screen
3. Crusader Kings
4. Paradox Games

I almost forgot to mention that if you like strategy, well, you should at least have played Master of Orion 2.  If you like RTS and have already played the StarCraft you could play Warhammer...  just not the second one.

I'm able to criticize games if that would be helpful.  But I don't make a habit of criticizing the original StarCraft and AOW.
