idlereviews.com Reviews by gamers for gamers!!!! - Games

(I didn't know where to post this so please be patient with me if this was not posted in the right section seeing as we aren't selling anything or offering game servers ) Hello my fellow game server hosting nerds and nerdettes! Lets get to the nitty gritty and get the dirty out on this new company I'm so proud to be apart of. Description: I know many of you are wondering, what the heck idle reviews is. Well besides the obvious of being a review company. We do things differently here. Idle Reviews is full of gamers who care about gamers, wanting the gamer to save money by preventing them from buying a bad game. We don't just stop there, we also do game server provider reviews, web hosting reviews, and discount gaming rig reviews. Why do we do this? My question to you is why not? Most clans and teams if they can afford it, will have a server, and a website. A lot of clans and teams will pick the wrong company with bad business practices. This is where we step in. We take the leap of faith and get thrown around like rag dolls for the sake of you gamers out there! Also most people who get into computer gaming automaticaly think that sense it's a computer for gaming it needs to be 10 billion dollars and you need to take out a personal loan from your mommies and daddies to play your precious world of warcraft. We put that to the test, and try and debunk and save you guys lots of money. Why?: Well it was already stated but let me clarify. I know I'm tired of the well known companies like IGN and so forth not talking to gamers. They give a bias opinion over the game and think it's a good review. Sadly this has to stop, it's not going to but dang it I WANT TO DREAM! What we will be doing is talking to gamers like gamers. What do I mean? Well not the n3rd rage and cussing at the screan, but we analize gameplay, is it actually an attention getter seeing as our attention span is on average now less then 8 seconds and that was in my class alone. (class of 09... I'm SUPER OLD) Also we are doing Gameserver provider reviews. We do this so the clans can always pick the best choice.. Sorry but gameservers.com and artofwarcentral and the 10 companies they have bought out are sadly not the best on the market.. You small guys are the best. We are here to expose you guys so maybe you can get more traffic, and get some awesome people buying from yall. The gaming server provider dream was/is very real to me, and I would LOVE to help out the little guy. We pair all that up with webhosting because each clan and team no matter how "l33t" they are want a website. The website is the center point for everything and a good meeting ground. Groups, and followings don't do anything. We expose the best webhost providers for the gamer. Unlimited everything is not always the best choice, as we found out the hard way with idle reviews and had to switch hosts... Epic sad face. Who?: WHO WOULD RUN SUCH A WONDERFUL COMPANY!?!? Well gamers of course. I'd brag of my credentials but I'd have to kill all of you Get to know the staff: twitter: [url]http://www.twitter.com/#!/IdleReviews[/url] facebook: [url]http://www.facebook.com/pages/Idle-Reviews/174794069284481[/url] youtube: [url]http://www.youtube.com/user/IdleReviews[/url] (please subscribe.

It would have potential if it was a review site rather than a forum.

Your website actually makes my eyes bleed.

[QUOTE=Archonos 2;34261556]It would have potential if it was a review site rather than a forum.[/QUOTE] It's a forums for many reasons, thus it's potential still hasnt changed. One great reason is simplicity in getting user feedback and us being able to provide a sufficient amount of services on the site. IPB has major potential in making businesses strive.

why don't you have any links for your own site, idelreviews.com?

[QUOTE=Psycho_Shadow;34261671]why don't you have any links for your own site, idelreviews.com?[/QUOTE] What do you mean?? If your talking about my profile they are in there, and if anything links are in the topic above.

If you want people to read your website, at least make it somewhat serious. I just looked at the 'recent topics' on your website, and it appears that you have a problem it comes to punctuation. [QUOTE] idlereviews.com Reviews by gamers for gamers!!!! We are looking for hosts!!!! Video I made gimmie input!!! SWTOR: Patch notes!!!!! [/QUOTE] I know my grammar isn't the best, but when people are trying to read your reviews, they will be looking for well thought out and grammatically correct reviews. It doesn't appear that you have the kind of quality control system nescessary. Then there's the fact that most video game review websites are run by either gamers or ex-gamers. You don't have a very unique selling point.

I looked at the SWTOR first look, stopped after the first sentence. [quote] So the ever so hyped SWTOR (Star Wars the old republic) I think is one of the most antisipated games after the announcment of SWG (Star Wars Galaxies)[/quote] What? Galaxies was announced around 2000, and anticipated is spelled wrong.

And grammer? are you kidding me, there is a reason to what makes us unique, and its that we are not stuck up being grammar natzis ruining a game by giving a boring review. If you dont like our style of doing things then dont bother, we really dont need your negativity. Lastly we are trying to attract gamers much like us, clearly thats not you. Thanks for the advice, but no thanks. This was well thought out, and has overcome my expectations. Now im using it to provide more for the community, given our layout, and thus helpin other community's get out there, by providing free - paid advertisement.

Good grief you can't be serious you must be trolling I mean who would try and launch a site like thi- [QUOTE=Drizzy99;34262011]anticipated* my bad, [b]this was written up in a hurry.[/b][/QUOTE] Mother of god, you're actually serious.

This shows some potential, but if you want this to be taken seriously then it really doesn't take long to spell check a review before posting it, and it would go a long way to help your credibility.

It doesn't make you unique, it just makes you look like you're too dumb use proper grammar.

To be honest the site is painful to look at. You should really consider upping the ante on it. The banner/ad at the bottom of the page is awful. You can barely read the text on it. Just trying to be helpful. Your reviews aren't that special either, though they aren't bad. They're decent.

We will have fashionably ordered paragraphs and we will (going by what someone said above) & have our reviews checked for spelling mistakes and run-on sentences. Clearly someone hasnt been doing their research. And lastly i never said i didnt care about gamers.. This is turning into more of a trolling thread if anything. Kind of degrades my facepunch experience.

''By gamers for gamers''. Wow, OP, that's the most original slogan i've ever seen. How'd you think of it? It's amazing, you'd think someone else would've used the slogan by now.

It's hard to take you seriously when you type like that.

You know what they say about people who use four exclamation marks.

No one is trolling you, believe it or not the majority of people here are just trying to help. If it was total shit people would say that, but it's not, it just needs work and when you make a thread like this you should be able to accept some criticism.

In terms of looks, please do tell me what we should do to better everyones experience. This project is only run by two people right now and is quite hard to maintain by just us, so if you feel you would like to help, do get at me, we are hiring and would love to have a creative mind.

Right now your reviews are emotionless and bland with bad grammar. There are plenty of review sites with an attitude that write perfectly, and writing better cannot make your site worse.

[img]http://forums.idlereviews.com/uploads/referral-0800051001326772451.png[/img] The banner is really bad. The "get your ad here" should probably just be plain text on a solid color or blended into the site and the text on the banner is nigh unreadable. You'd probably be better off Just having a solid white text on the "idlereviews" with black outlining rather than filter rape.

this looks very well made!!!!!!!!! i think you could get verry rich of this!!!!!!!! i also like how you have a forum were we can talk!!!!!!!!!!! I dislike how you use too many exclamation marks though.

no offence but that's just a fucking forum? And it looks awful

[img]http://i.imgur.com/JpAzl.png[/img] Whipped this up in about twenty seconds in photoshop. Something like it would be more pleasing to the eye than your current banner/adspace. [editline]17th January 2012[/editline] It looks better on your site [url="http://i.imgur.com/1ndMY.png"]too[/url]

Guys, this site really has potential to be something big! And the best part? The video reviews are actually pretty good! The only thing bugging me at the moment is the fact, that the site uses forum format over the standard "blog style" that for example RPS uses.

To review a game you have to play it, and playing a game makes you a gamer. Therefore all game reviews are by 'gamers'. This whole thing reminds me of Powerup Comics for some reason.
