    Since we have a thread like this for books already, and there's interest in game reviews, I thought I might as well open another one for game reviews. The system here will be the same as in Booktalk.

    This thread here serves only as an index for the reviews which you will post as separate threads in this forum.

    So, how does the whole thing work? You simply open a new thread with the game's title and the note that it is a review (e.g. Neverwinter Nights - Review) in this forum, post your review here (doesn't need to have a numerical score at the end), then post in THIS thread with ONLY the title of the game you've reviewed (and optionally platform, if other than PC), a link on the name, and your name in brackets. I'll put a placeholder post in this thread as well, so that when people post links to their reviews in this thread, I'll be able to sort them alphabetically into a neat index.

    Now, for the rules...

    1. Please take some time and effort to write your reviews. They don't need to be a mile long, but around 500 words at least is preferred.
    2. If your game is a part of a series, you should write which series and where the game fits in inside your review as well as in the notice you post in this thread.
    3. Only post reviews of games you have played through. Don't post a review of a game you've played for 30 minutes and then say the whole thing sucked so much you couldn't play any more. That can't be an objective review of any game.
    4. If you like (or dislike) something in a game, make sure to explain your reasons sufficiently. The readers of your review aren't able to guess why you didn't like something, for example, if you don't provide arguments for it.
    5. Please post as few spoilers about the game's plot and characters as possible. Descriptions are fine and necessary, but going into more detail about things revealed only later in the game is really not desirable. No one wants to have his or her playing experience spoiled too much!
    6. Multiple reviews of the same game by different board members are fine. The reviews will be indexed by game title as well as the name of the reviewer.
    7. You can review any game you like, new or old, covered by SP or not. If the platform is different than PC, please put it into square brackets in the review's title, e.g. "Fable [Xbox]".

    If there are any questions, please post them here or PM me and I'll update this thread with clarifications, but don't post them here so we can keep this thread focused on its indexing purpose. Thanks.
