What reviews would you like to see?

Postby VideoGameCritic » March 1st, 2009, 11:27 am

Some of you may wonder how I select the games I am reviewing.  There are a lot of factors. 

First, I feel a responsibility to give games I am sent top priority.  This includes games sent by publishers and readers a like!  Yes, this is the best part of being the VGC.  Not much money in this, but plenty of games in the mail.

Next, I feel the need to "mix it up" with the old and new.  If I review a set of Wii games, I'd prefer to follow it up with NES or Atari 2600 reviews.  This site covers a lot of ground, and people like the variety.  I rarely post reviews for the same system in succession.

Next, I like to review new games while they are still popular and in the public eye.  For example, I definitely want to get a Street Fighter IV review out in the next week or two.

Next, there are games I just get the itch for.  I happen to own a lot of the King of Fighters games for the Neo Geo, and I am dying to review them in succession, which I will probably do today.

Finally, I like to make sure I review games for systems I have not covered in a while.  Since this is the lowest priority, I know there have been a lot of systems that have fallen through the cracks.  Hopefully I'll be able to rectify that soon.  That's the problem with covering so many systems - I become spread very thin.

Anyway, now I'd like to hear about what systems you would like to see new reviews for.

I'd like to see those reviews as well but those titles are not cheap to acquire.

PS2:
Salt Lake 2002
Terminator 3: The Redemption - quite tough but enjoyable

NES:
Lee Trevino's Fighting Golf - no actual fighting, just a solid gold game.

Guys, you can list specific games if you want, but what I was really looking for were the systems you'd like to see more reviews for.

One other review factor I forgot to mention: strike while the iron is hot.  I had two of my old buddies over last night, and we played a bunch of classic games I haven't played in a long time.  They made a lot of interesting observations which I will use to revise those old reviews.  Obviously I need to do that now before I forget what was said.

As far as systems, I'd say that you should do more Gamecube reviews, seeing as it's been almost a year since the last couple.  By the same standard, I'd say 32X, although with the exceptions of Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure, RBI Baseball 95 and Supreme Warrior, there's really nothing left for it that you haven't already covered (aside from a couple of European and Japanese only games, and I'm not sure how or if you'd end up playing those on your American system).
