Need more classic reviews?
[/QUOTE]
I think you do a great job of mixing it up. One day you see new Genesis games reviewed, then you have 2600 games reviewed. Personally I like it when you review the more obscure stuff, Saturn, 3DO, Jaguar, Neo Geo etc... since you cannot find good reviews for these systems anywhere on the net besides your site. Though I think you do a perfect job of balancing classics and new games...

i guess there is no easy answer, but i do like that you are going back and expanding on older reviews.

It seems you do a pretty good mix between the different systems. Though I can't compare it to the past as I haven't been coming here that long.
I think you should just review whatever games you have an interest in playing at that time, otherwise your reviews might become forced and that might affect the grades.

As for sections being updated.. Gamecube. There's something like 47 games (which is still not half-bad for a collection), but it pales in comparasion to other sections.

Puh-lease! Ok SSX, give us the definitive, system by system lists from Atari 2600 through N64, of all the games worth playing and not playing. Now!
This site's obvious greatest asset is the classic reviews. For current game reviews you can go to near-countless sources, but good classic review sources are few and far between. I like Dave's modern reviews because you know he has historical perspective, but the classic/obscure system reviews are what set this site apart. I never would have started collecting for the Virtual Boy if it wasn't for this site, and I never would have found so many great Genesis shooters such as M.U.S.H.A. and Truxton without this site (and the help of Alienblue and Zen ), etc.
Ultimately, I think the current mix is good though. Keep it up Dave!

I could do that or you could just use common sense while buying games. Some developers make lousy games, while others make good or great ones. There's generally a pattern there. Yes there is exceptions, but this is a decent way of weeding out the potentially fun from the muck.
Besides everyone taste differ, no review site is ever definitive. I only agree with the critic about 40% of the time.

What!?! You are not proving your point whatsoever.

SSX there are tons of games that are excellent but you might think they are rubbish if you didn't know. Beetle Adventure Racing for example might look gimmicky cash in rubbish but is actually a classic. While Sonic R may look good but is complete trash. Personally I have very little idea about anything pre Genesis so I find it quite interesting.
