My Reviews of OHR Games are now posted online
http://spots.flatland.com/jms/ohrrev/review.html
I expect to update it atleast once a week if not more often until I catch up with all the OHR games I have played over the past year. Then I will go and make it look a bit nicer.
If you find any errors in authorship for website please drop me a post, e-mail, IM, PM or whatever you feel like.

Wow, just what I wanted to read, a few bad reviews of a bunch of OHR games...
But seriously, those reviews are far too short and not in-depth enough. That is the point of a review. You don't simply say things like "This game is classic, the graphics are great, the story is great, the gameplay is fine, the music is good, this is a great game!". WHY are the graphics so good? WHY is the story so good? (And I don't mean, "This story is great because it is so epic". I mean like "The execution of the grand story is superb, and it is aided by the impeccable dialogue and unique and interesting characters."). WHY is the gameplay so good? Is there anything that separates it from the norm? I sometimes think a review of a game should not only tell the reader why they should/shouldn't play this game and extreme detail supporting their opinion, but it should also try to explain why the game isn't just another game. _________________

Let's deal with this backwards.
"If you say Wandering Hamster's graphics are well-done, that's an average description."
Fenrir- No, that's an awful description. Without the why, it's useless to the game creator, and since everyone's idea of "well-done" graphics is different, it doesn't really help other players either. I happen to think Wandering Hamster's graphics are merely average.
Aeth- Good points.
Omega0- Your reviews help no one, and I hope you didn't honestly think you were helping anyone with your impossible to use scoring system, ("!" is NOT a score, it's an exclamation mark) and paragraph long reviews. Take a look at the way CP's reviews are set up, and look back on O:OHR reviews. If you're serious about helping game creators and players alike, then you're going to really need to step up here. |

My apologies. I was attempting to demonstrate that a more descriptive comment is arguably better than a bland one. |
