Hey all,

In the August Issue of the OXM (Official Xbox Magazine) they wrote an article titled "15 Great Games You've Never Played" highlighting 15 "unknown" or "overlooked" games.

I just wanted to know what you guys thought about this? Are these games really unknown or overlooked? Considering I own over half of them...

1) Singularity 2) Bioshock 2 3) Alan Wake 4) Catherine 5) Shadows of the Damned 6) The Saboteur 7) Nier 8) Spec Ops: The Line 9) Condemned 2 10) Bulletstorm 11) Too Human 12) Binary Domain 13) Tropico 4 14) Enslaved (Odyssey to the west) 15) Just Cause 2

Also could you guys could post your own suggestions of unknown or overlooked games for the Xbox 360?

Thanks,

Icy Grey

P.S To see whether or not they're right, I will be buying and playing all 15 games. I will then be doing a review over on my YouTube channel - http://www.youtube.com/user/TheIcyGrey

I'd probably fail abysmally trying to recreate him, I just find him entertaining to watch :)

@Essian:

Thanks for the tips! It's really helpful to know how much to write, since I'd probably fall into the trap of trying to comment on everything rather than the things that stood out. I think writing style and voice is something that I'd struggle with so, like you said, I'll stick to basics and hopefully it will all fall into place with practice.

Thanks for offering to read over anything that I write in the future and I'll check out some of your reviews for inspiration.

@mastermetal777:

Thank you for the feedback and all of the great tips, can't wait to put them into action. I'll make sure to make the gameplay more relevant in the next video and to thoroughly practice the commentary beforehand. I think I may have been slightly biased towards the game and overlooked some of the negative aspects, I'll make sure to correct this in my next review. I've been reading reviews in magazines like Sci Fi Now and the Official Xbox Magazine, but I'll spend time watching more video reviews (rather than just Zero Punctuation) as well as reading amateur reviews.

Thanks again!

Hey all, I've recently just created a video review of the game Batman Arkham Asylum it's a bit of an old game now but it's such a great game and I thought would be an easy starting point for me to review. Before I give a link to the video I just wanted to clarify the purpose of this post. I'm hoping to continue doing video reviews of games on my YouTube Channel, but I'm also thinking of creating an accompanying blog and having written game reviews on there since the two can be very different in style and some people prefer one form over another.

So, I'm looking for people who have any experience writing reviews or are willing to give me some feedback when I start (hoping to get some tips from first hand writers before I start) or any feedback for my video reviews.

I have some experience in writing before (Doing English AS level at school for example) and I know what sort of things to include (Plot, Gameplay/Features, Graphics, Price, Cast etc) but I was wondering on how long they should be for example? How much detail should be put it? Is it good to be comical or satirical? Or whether I should just keep to the basics to start off?

Also if you guys read or write reviews can you send me a link to your own content or authors you enjoy reading/watching like Zero Punctuation?

Thanks in advance,

Jake
