Games Testers and Writers Needed: in 'ere pls guys

[Zak33]

Lo people
26 May 2010

I've had an idea
and having spoken to a large games company, I've managed to snag 15 copies of a newish game, that I think very few of you might have played.

It'll be a HARD COPY PC boxed game, which I will personally post to you.

My requirements are:

You install the game, and play it for at least 3 hours. No less. It needs 3 hours of your time. Even if you hate it.

And then, I request that you write a well worded, nicely balanced review containing :
100 words minimum on the GOOD POINTS
100 words minimum on the BAD POINTS

Then I request that you post them in this thread. I'd like to create what could be the first review thread, where everyone is playing the same game, for free and gets to keep it at the end,while debating it, in both GOOD and BAD context.

It's for Forum Members only.. I want to see a MINIMUM of a 100 post-count members, because frankly I need to know I can trust each of you. The game is NOT to be sold afterwards.. it's YOURS and only yours.

I will request a PM to myself with your postal address, real name and I'll then send it out to you.
Only I will see your details and they will NOT be shared with anyone else. You won't end up on a spam list.

Ihave the large box of games in my possession now

I also have a couple of T shirts and some other games from the same company to award to people who do a good job here. A good job involves finding FAULT and finding GOLD in the game. In equal measure.

It'll be tricky... reviewing games changes your perception of "enjoyment" when you have to do it.. even if it's pooh. But likewise.. looking for things you like and loath in something, critically, is a challenge and frankly... good for the soul.

So... who's up for it?

UK MAINLAND ONLY (for post)

Min Spec is: Vista/XP , Intel P4 2.4 or AMD 2.0, 1Gb and 10gb for install on your HD, and a Geforce 7900 or HD3850
It's a DX9 title.

I won't disclose the game or the company yet. But this can happen in the next couple of days

7PM 26/05/10 NO MORE ADDRESS'S PLS... NO MORE GAMES LEFT

What spec does it need to run as I only have my laptop with me at the mo... if it will run on that I'll give it a thrash

[Zak33]

spec above... good point..you and megah0 hit me with that straight away

[jim]

I'm up for it... have you still got my details?

[megah0]

I'm in

[Rob_B]

Send me a decent gfx card to go with it (due to crappy onboard) & I'm game, I can 'review' the card at the same time Aren't I nice?

Great idea btw, if you could do this for consoles I'd be in as well

[MaddAussie]

[Steve A]

[Lee H]

Easy peasy

I've done a fair few reviews on Ciao etc in the past so I know what to do.

Drop me a PM if you want examples etc.

[Carlh]

I can also do this for you Zak.

PM me if you need my details

Cheers

[eshrules]

if only my GPU were up to the job

[Random_guy]

Would love to but unfortunately I don't have the post count! Damn my not spending enough time on the interweb!

Nevermind, maybe next time. Sounds like a good experiment, looking forward to the results.

[kopite]

I`d be up for it

[Mithrandir]

Would like to give it a go. Have sent you a PM Zak33.

[Spud1]

I'd be up for the challenge, been a while since I have written game reviews but have done a fair few user reviews around the net Have dropped you a PM with my details.

[kalniel]

I'm happy to have a go,

BUT..

it can't be that game you were trying to get rid of via your fun competition a while ago.

Seriously.
