Seems like a solid idea. As @Th3solution mentioned, there's a fair few members already typing out some pretty credible reviews on various topics in the forums, including games, so I don't see why this wouldn't work.

Along with the aforementioned user, @ralizah and @pizzamorg spring to mind as regulars who might possibly be interested. Though there's definitely others.

@ShogunRok I think this is a brilliant idea! Can think of a few folks who'd be great at this!

Not to add to your workload or anything, but have you also considered a (monthly?) screenshot gallery, where users could submit their best screenshots to be highlighted? I appreciate that hosting images is a bit more of a resource drain than a couple paragraphs, so would understand why the idea might not fly, but it'd be another cool way to showcase the wider community's creativity.

Every review I write in our dedicated review thread is at least 1000-2000+ words so I could really use something like this to try and make an effort for more shorter and concise pieces 😅

@ShogunRok I'd be up for this.

Will you be accepting haikus? I think the Push Square Weekly Haiku Review could really take off

Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.

Sorry I missed this and thanks for thinking of me!

This is something I'd be interested to get involved with, but as you've seen on here I waffle some right *****, I dunno if I have the self editorialising needed to get myself down to just one paragraph 😂

@RogerRoger We have! We're definitely looking into more ways to incorporate community-based stuff, but it takes time to get it right. Always open to more ideas and suggestions.

Just an update on this, folks: we're very keen on featuring user reviews on the site, but as mentioned above, these things take time to get right. I'll keep you all in the loop as much as I can, so keep any thoughts or feedback coming.

Oooh, let me give it a try…

The Last of Us game
Cordyceps and the giraffe
Nature can be both

Ugh, that’s awful. Never mind.

I wonder if I can give a review of PAW Patrol games on PS4.

You can guess the game for yourselves

@ShogunRok Absolutely up for this. Been wanting to try my hand at reviewing or writing about games so this seems like the perfect opportunity!

@sorteddan I'm gonna guess it's Nintendogs.

On a completely unrelated topic, I never "got" poetry back at school.

@RogerRoger
I am a poet and my name is dan.
I sometimes write poems.
I also like flan.

What's to get?

“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”

zupertramp

@sorteddan Flan doesnt exactly rhyme with Dan if pronounced correctly but then no one said poetry had to rhyme so I guess your point still stands.

@zupertramp
and you dont know how I pronounce dan.
mebbe it's like street poetry coz nobody speaks proper round ere.

But if it doesn't have to rhyme then...

I am a poet and my name is dan.
I sometimes write poems.
I also like chimichangas.

@sorteddan you got me there.

@Th3solution I never really got into reading poetry either but oddly enough I love writing it.
