    G'day guys and gals,

    I am looking for people to actively write reviews for games on all major platforms (PS3, Wii, Xbox 360, PC, PS2, DS, PSP) for an up and coming website. I cannot give away too many details on the site yet, but needless to say it is an exciting project and will be good fun to work with.
    The advantages to reviewing games are that you get to keep the game you are reviewing and quite often you get games before they are released :D. For anyone who is an up and coming writer / journalist it is a fantastic way of getting hands-on experience in the field and is also great for portfolio's and CV's. Everyone who will be writing the reviews will have their name attached to the reviews and will have the backing of the website when it comes to intellectual property.

    For those interested, please contact me via Private Message and I will be able to give a few more details and answer any questions you may have.
    All those interested will have to do a bit of homework for me though :p I would need to see 2 sample reviews of 1200 - 1500 words on recent enough games. For these sample reviews, it is best to pick games that you can write about and criticise rather then games you just like. I will need these reviews to suss out your level of writing and to see your style.

    Please contact me if interested and tell me what systems you currently own. I will try and get back to everyone as soon as possible.

    Have fun!

    Aye, far too much effort involved for my liking...
    Think I'll just stick to barely having enough time to play the games I already own, rather than wasting more time writing about them...
