[IMG]http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/9700/gamesaboutlogofp.png[/IMG] Hey there! I am a former Gmod.com admin and in Novembmer of 2010, some friends and I decided to create our own indie review/news site about games, as we were disatisfied with mainstream review systems. After labouring hard on a name, we finally bit the bullet and went with "Games About." Since then we have extended our reach into the gaming world, connected with a large amount of developers and publishers, in an effort to get our name out there. We love what we do (Heck, it's gaming after all) and try to provide you with honest and open-minded opinions on the games we test, and more importantly the games you care about. We focus extensively on the PC gaming scene. If you're looking for in depth reviews, interviews, previews and exclusive news in PC Gaming, we want to be your first choice. So what are you waiting for? Check us out at [URL=http://gamesabout.net/]gamesabout.net[/URL] and make sure to leave us some feedback. Here is a fancy screenshot: [IMG]http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/7816/gascreen.png[/IMG] The Design was done by PieClock. We have an open slot for talented and eager reviewers and editors, information can be found on our page, or just by contacting me.
And I am Sparkles on the site. I've been writing a few reviews and have a review on 1187 the mod coming up this weekend.
Most posts do have screenshots, just click the Read more link to see the full post.
Could you explain further, I'm not sure if I know what you mean.
Looks pretty sexy
I'm known as "Mach" on Gamesabout. I'm the rookie on the team, however my first review is in the works at the moment, and hopefully will be ready for your reading pleasure soon. It's a pure literary orgasm.
Reading width is good. Widescreen is terrible reading width you get mile-long lines of text. [editline]3rd December 2010[/editline] No silly numerical scores so far so good.
I'm a reviewer as well just haven't done any. I need to though.
Looks quite nice. Hope the reviews are fun to read.
I'd feel like I'm selling the site as I'm a reviewer on there too BUT most of the reviews are very well done and in depth too. Also a Football Manager 2011 review will be up soon, be sure to visit and check it out, along with all the other reviews.
Looks good.
There we go, our first non-digital review copy just arrived: [url]http://twitpic.com/3cgkin[/url]
Looks nice. Keep it up, grow it to something great :buddy:.
I'm known as kitteh-nator/Njittie on the site.
I'm ZombieDawgs and I did The Ball review about a day ago.
looks cool, Ill sign up in a sec.
Looks awesome, I will sure follow this! :buddy:
Oh wow, some of my best internet lovers make a review site and I don't even know about it :v: Looks nice, just watch your spelling guys :buddy:
Still working on getting good editors. Feel free to join up. Just talk to Sek. We're growing pretty fast and it'd be nice to have some more Facepunchers onboard with us.
Looks pretty neat, just sent you a PM on there SEK, i can offer my graphic designer services, all the info is on the PM
No PM here.
either... 1. do something cool with the background (not some random assassins creed image) 2. widen the content sections so its not all bunched up.
Background detracts from the content. This should never, EVER happen.
Yes.
Interesting. I see that us at "The Facepunch Review Database" are going to have some competition.
Quick suggestion for the site: a search function and an alphabetical list with all the reviews. Could be usefull for people wanting to check if the game they might consider buying has been reviewed.
Thats coming with metacritic.
Wait, is your site based off of Reviewing or RATING games? There is a difference.
[QUOTE=No Party Hats;26469024]Wait, is your site based off of Reviewing or RATING games? There is a difference.[/QUOTE] I'd say reviewing, only one global rating is given at the end of the review.
Im not sure where you see the difference
