Topic: Push Square Wants Your Game Reviews

ShogunRok · 2023-03-16T17:37:48+00:00

Hey everyone, We wanted to run this by you guys on the forum because we know how involved a lot of you are with the site in general (which is always appreciated!). Basically, we're thinking of running a weekly or bi-weekly feature article on Push Square that's all about game reviews from users. We'd be asking for users (just like you!) to send us very short game reviews that we could include in a regular feature article. We're thinking along the lines of just one paragraph, complete with a score out of 10. These reviews would ideally get right to the heart of why you enjoy (or dislike) a certain game. Any and all PlayStation games could be covered, but we'd probably prefer to hear your takes on more recently released games. Does this sound like something you guys would be interested in? Your reviews would be published in the aforementioned article along with your user name, or real name if you prefer. We'd be taking submissions via email. We like to think that the community aspect of Push Square is one of the site's best qualities, so giving you lot another avenue of expression is something we're enthusiastic about. Let me know your thoughts — we're totally open to feedback on this, and we'd love to hear whether it's something you'd personally want to be a part of. Thanks for reading!

Every review I write in our dedicated review thread is at least 1000-2000+ words so I could really use something like this to try and make an effort for more shorter and concise pieces 😅

@ShogunRok I'd be up for this.

Will you be accepting haikus? I think the Push Square Weekly Haiku Review could really take off

Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.

Seems like a solid idea. As @Th3solution mentioned, there's a fair few members already typing out some pretty credible reviews on various topics in the forums, including games, so I don't see why this wouldn't work.
Along with the aforementioned user, @ralizah and @pizzamorg spring to mind as regulars who might possibly be interested. Though there's definitely others.

Sorry I missed this and thanks for thinking of me!

This is something I'd be interested to get involved with, but as you've seen on here I waffle some right *****, I dunno if I have the self editorialising needed to get myself down to just one paragraph 😂

@RogerRoger We have! We're definitely looking into more ways to incorporate community-based stuff, but it takes time to get it right. Always open to more ideas and suggestions.

Just an update on this, folks: we're very keen on featuring user reviews on the site, but as mentioned above, these things take time to get right. I'll keep you all in the loop as much as I can, so keep any thoughts or feedback coming.

Oooh, let me give it a try…

The Last of Us game
Cordyceps and the giraffe
Nature can be both

Ugh, that’s awful. Never mind.

I wonder if I can give a review of PAW Patrol games on PS4.

@Th3solution Still found it oddly calming, though.

Haiku Review #2

Labyrinthine world
Vanquished foes by crow foretold
Death rightly restored

You can guess the game for yourselves

@ShogunRok Absolutely up for this. Been wanting to try my hand at reviewing or writing about games so this seems like the perfect opportunity!

@Th3solution Reads like a 9

@sorteddan I'm thinking Bloodborne but I'm not confident in that guess

I am a poet and my name is dan.
I sometimes write poems.
I also like flan.

What's to get?

@sorteddan Flan doesnt exactly rhyme with Dan if pronounced correctly but then no one said poetry had to rhyme so I guess your point still stands.

@zupertramp
and you dont know how I pronounce dan.
mebbe it's like street poetry coz nobody speaks proper round ere.

But if it doesn't have to rhyme then...

I am a poet and my name is dan.
I sometimes write poems.
I also like chimichangas.

@sorteddan you got me there.

@Th3solution I never really got into reading poetry either but oddly enough I love writing it.
